I suspect Olivier is right. One of Ireland's two Internet gateways reports external traffic as 4.5 Gbytes for Nov 92; it is reckoned that most of this traffic is with and via NSFnet. Hank reports 1.6 Gbytes to and from Ireland, and this may not include some VMnet stuff, but Ireland's other gateway is for NetNews, which seems to average about 1 Gbyte a month or more. I hope you have had a happy Christmas and will have a prosperous new year. Cheers. Mike (voice: +353.1.612748)
