Additional info which may be of interest:  CIX can be reached at:
[log in to unmask]
or you can call:  703-824-9249  (lou scanlan is good person to talk
to, if she is still there).
 
There are supposedly four new NSF NAP's which were / are / will be
set up (?? status ??).  Some info I had said one will be in San Jose,
managed by Pac Bell.....  Except nobody at Pac Bell had the slightest
idea what I was talking about when I asked them......
 
Plus semi-trivia:  I have a bunch of stuff on file from CIX, and it all
says "Commercial INTERNET Exchange", not "Commercial
Information Exchange".
 
Plus confusion factor, which I will not even try to get into the details
of:  Since Dr. Washburn left as head of CIX there has been a
considerable amount of turmoil and debate as to what the future of
CIX is going to be............

"Unfortunately" is the right word;  hopefully that will change soon,
and SLIP will appear on the 3000.  Ditto with full-function DNS.
