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 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............
