Case in point: so far as I know, my machine (freebsd.lcs.mit.edu aka cvsup3.freebsd.org) is the only vBNS-attached FreeBSD CVSup mirror site. (ftp3.freebsd.org at Virginia Tech is connected to the vBNS, however, if you want an FTP mirror.) The 2000 or so other sites connected to vBNS or CA*netII are MUCH closer to MIT and VT than they are to anyone in the commercial Internet. We also have an ESnet connection so people in DOE labs should also have quick access to these resources. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
