   I just got through to them all right.

   I get occasional glitches, lasting anywhere from one bounce to,
say, an hour, where certain domain groups seem to be unavailable,
and any E-Mail to them will bounce.  Then, everything's back in
order again.

   I know better than to take it seriously when I get bounces 
saying, for example, that the domains compuserve.com, delphi.com,
or netcom.com are not found (and I've seen all three, occasionally).

   Wouldn't something like this happen if one of the "root"
internet name servers crashed?  Also, could this happen to
just you if your own internet service provider's name server
crashed?

     Till later,

	Ken Parker
