I don't have the original mail, only Jeff Ogden's quote from it, so I'm
not sure who the original author was...

Cornell U is connected to both PSI and NSFNET (and other stuff).  We
recently changed our general routing preferences, so we'd like to hear
of problems (I was one of the reasons -- I was having some breakup in
our audio and video experiments with San Diego).  We currently reach
dra.com via NSFNET and MIDNET, and world.std.com via PSI and Alternet.
What was the problem referred to above?
						Thanks ... Scott
