- Some people have expressed little faith in the utility of this approach.
- Try this instead: send email to Gail Grant (grant@pa.dec.com), who
- might have some effect (and who knows more than a little about the

- Please send Gail concise, friendly messages explaining why you think DEC

- you might want to describe specific applications that require multicast,
- rather than just "it's a good thing."
-
- No promises, of course.
