- What you're seeing in the address is the wonders of poor man's routing
- when combined with the equally daunting features of DECnet Phase IV.
- Presumably Mr. King is connected to the system am_msbcs, in order to
- get to that system you have to go through all of the others starting
- from the left most bxbmts. In reality it probably isn't that bad. I
- have worked looked at DECs internal network a couple of times and it
- is fairly well designed, at least as well as DECnet will allow. The
- chances are some crucial router was down and DECnet managed to figure
- out a route around it, one of the few things DECnet does well.
