That may be true of BITEARN NODES but you still have the Mailer tables and
they don't correlate with BITEARN NODES.  I was speaking more of them than
the latter, as most US sites get their route tables from UCLA (which is
yet another file cruncher, but another story).  I have no opposition to the
NETSERV tools, its only that the US only has *one* of them and its at the
same place we get our Mailer tables from anyway.
