There was a recent posting on com-priv that said that access from
the University of Michigan to world.std.com was blocked by Merit.
This isn't the case. Merit/MichNet doesn't block access to and from
the University of Michigan.
It seems that the crucial question is whether Merit/MichNet is in CIX
or not -- in practice, the extent of CIX is the extent of World's
access. (And that of other sites that are not R&E and don't pretend
to be). And of course, if it isn't in CIX, why isn't it?
