Hello,

For each EARN countries in the list (BE, DE, FR, IT, PL, SU and YU), I've
asked the Network Country Coordinators to give some explanation about their
respective nodes:

>    Site      Nodename  Co     Software        Added  Node/Site Status
>    --------  --------  --     --------        -----  ----------------------
>    RoyalMil  BBRRMS51  BE     NJE             9011   defined, but unconnect
The manager of BBRRMS51 (the node exists altough it is not connected) has
been asked to give us some informations about any plan to effectively
connect the node or to allow the removal of the node definition from the
tables.

>    MPI-Phys  DMUMPIMV  DE     homebrew        9210   neighbor is unconnected
>    MPI-Phys  DMUMPINT  DE     RSCS            9210   not defined at neighbor
>    MPI-Phys  DMUMPIWH  DE     RSCS            9210   neighbor is unconnected
These nodes have been introduced for an intermediate period of time
because people in Munich want to change their node names.
The old node names will disappear soon and the new
names will become real EARN nodes.

Remark: They appear in the :oldnode./:newnode. list in Ulrich's latest mail
about new/deleted nodes in 9212.

These nodes are members of the French EARN network, they are defined in the
french routings.

>    CC Paris  FRCIRP62  FR     UREP            9109   not defined at neighbor
Test node, deleted in 9212.

>    Antilles  FRUAGG11  FR     VTAM            9209   defined, but unconnect
This node is in the French Antillas and is connected to the French main land
via a dial-up line that is not operated 24 hours a day.

>    EARN      EARNCC    FR     RSCS            9211   defined, but unconnect
New node, connected since 92/11/05.

>    France C  FRCDF51   FR     NJE             9204   was connected, new path
>    CITILill  FRCITL81  FR     ?               9211   was connected, new path
Both on the Internet. The NJE addresses are converted to SMTP addresses in a
central location.

>    Roma 2    IRM2CIV   IT     RSCS            8702   defined, but unconnect
Being investigated.

>    Sardegna  ISSCORI1  IT     Jnet            9205   defined, but unconnect
Deleted in 9212.

Deleted in 9212.

Due to economical constraints the leased line from Copenhagen (DK) to Moscow
has been replaced by a dial-up line between Stockholm (SE) and Moscow. This
line is not connected 24 hours a day. This affects all SU nodes.

>    J.Stefan  YULJJS51  YU     Jnet            9108   state of YU uncertain
The Austrain government decided to comply with the UN embargo on Yugoslavia.
Therefore the Autria-Yugoslavia line has been cut. This affects all YU nodes.
