Perhaps what I ned to do is clarify something about how RELAY works. I'd always been under the impression that it only relayed users on the RELAY machines. From Jeff's last note it sounds like it does have the ability to connect users at nodes which are not running RELAY themselves. I had always assumed we didn't need to worry about RELAY here because our users couldn't get into it. Now I'm wondering if I should be looking for our users connecting via another host. Can I do that? If Mike's new conference facility will allow any machine which can support interactive messages to connect I withdraw my previous concerns. That will probably cover 80% or more of the host pool, but I hope that the documentation will make it very clear what to do if you have to attach via a remote server. I'll sign on to CONFER-L (If someone will remind me who was hosting it :-) and look for answers to above questions there (but give me time to get signed on please). /June To: LSTSRV-L(LSTSRV-L@POLYGRAF)
