There isn't much change. There's one       system no longer connectable, and 1 that has become connectable since. All       others are more or less unchanged.              But the situation on the 27th was already bad. A large part of the systems was       not connectable at that time. Whether that was due to the war or because of       the general state of fidonet from even before the war started, I don't know,       but I suspect the latter.       And there is still a large number of POTS only nodes in R46, that I can't       test, even I wanted to.              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 103/705 105/81 106/201 114/705 123/120 124/5016 129/305       SEEN-BY: 129/330 331 153/250 757 7715 203/0 218/700 840 220/70 221/0       SEEN-BY: 226/17 229/110 317 426 428 664 700 240/5832 250/5 8 267/800       SEEN-BY: 280/464 282/1038 292/8125 298/25 301/1 305/3 310/31 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 341/234 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 100 340 772/220 230 2320/105       PATH: 280/464 310/31 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
