  17. We too are at the mercy of a dead floppy drive.  I could probably
  18. find one in DEC's internal used-equipment database, but it's not
  19. worth the bother.  I'm trying to arm-wrestle someone into connecting
  20. our GOES clock to an ULTRIX box running xtnp3, which would make everyone
  21. (including Dr. Fuzzball himself) happier than if we tried to revive
  22. the poor little fuzzy.

  24. At some point, the new host will probably find itself with the alias
  25. "clepsydra.dec.com", and possibly even the same IP address.  But don't
  26. hold your breath; it's not a technical problem, and it's not a political
  27. problem, it's just lack of time.
