I also had no idea until I was pointed at this discussion. And I must
confess to a gap in my Net guru-ness. Can anyone explain to me why/how
this can be? I was under the impression that all ip addresses can talk
to all other ip addresses. Is there anything we can do about it?

As far as a mirror goes, that wouldn't be a bad idea, and I'd be willing
to work with someone who is SERIOUS about it - I've already had a few offers
vanish (not that I don't understand how that happens, I've done similar
things to other people myself).

As always, if you've made your FAQ available on the Web (and it is stable
and consistently available) give me it's address and I will include it
in my stuff rather than converting the posted version. The archive still
lives at: http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/FAQ-List.html
