- Well, I'll start by giving something that is wrong with this list; I've
- been lame and haven't updated it in a while whilst working on the new
- engine. I _hope_ to get it done next weekend, no guarantees though...
- [I want to get it done before the next beta if possible.] But, moving on:

- As for the first point, true (although if they don't have web access
- they must at least have FTP access, or else how are they downloading the
- betas?) It'd probably be a good idea to keep the databases in sync, if
- there are two databases. Once the new web query engine is written, though,
- I don't think it'll be too difficult to add a mail interface to it. It's
- definitely a good idea and something I'll look into after the new web
- interface is up and running.
-
- As for the second point, have you had any trouble connecting to vorlon?
- It's on a 10 Mb/s ethernet that goes to a 100 Mb/s FDDI ring that goes to
- several T3's to the MCI, Sprint, and BBNplanet backbones. So, problems
- with connectivity are likely to be on the other side; I have heard problems
