The gateway stopped during Joe Geiser's mysterious absence and problems
with his domain name registrations causing mail to the gateway to
bounce.  I did see him resubscribe from a sprynet address
about a week ago and have been hoping to hear from him in person.

I, on the other hand, just now returned from a week-long Cisco
Networkers conference in Las Vegas, so I've been removed from the
discussion and list maintenance duties.  The LDX lines from the hotel
were so bad I could only manage a 4800bps dialout so I was essentially
offline.

If EDIT wants to take over the gateway that is fine with me, whether
to fill the current gap, or permanently.  My only concern is that if Joe
gets his end working again we may duplicate.

(Adam) please contact me directly, now that I'm back, to setup a proper
subscription entry for your gateway address.
