Subject: AMSAA.ARPA network problems persist.

Fellow CP/Mers - It seems that I was a bit hasty in sending my last message.
As it turns out, the machine from which this list is distributed is sort of
"half back on the net".  The lightning that took out the network interface in
the VAX also zapped the IMP port which provides our published network address.
Mike Muuss (pronounced "moose"), one of our system wizards, got AMSAA back on
the local BRLNET by using another IMP port and suitably altering the entries
in the local routing tables.  However, this still leaves us with our published
network address out of action.  Thus, we can send packets out, but no one out
in netland knows the address to use for sending packets back to us.

     I will let you know when this situation improves, but for now there is no
point in sending mail to info-cpm, as it will just be rejected.


Sigh,
Dave
