Well now, latest statement I have heard from Al Weis is 10
terabytes a month. So that is one terabyte a month of MUDs
financed by the US taxpayer at a cost of roughly $100,005.00 a
month ( one tenth of your current monthly payment from NSF.)
I'm not sure what is the point of this statement. Is it ANS's
responsibility if people are using the NSF backbone for a particular
kind of traffic? I for one would be *very* disturbed if a backbone had
wierd restrictions based on packet types. Besides, not all MUD-type
traffic is people playing, a lot of people are using this technology for
collaborative environments for Real Work (tm).
