	Seems to me where we are failing is that the web page at
vex.net is so out of date as to be almost useless :(  For starters, the
pages point ppl at genx.net still, which is a total waste of time.  Then
the bovine pointer is pretty much hidden at the bottom of the page :(

	Someone just started talking about the DESCHALL effort on the
freebsd mailing lists, and, quite frankly, its difficult to argue against
the guy's logic...DESCHALL seems to be an equivalent to genx, but, from what
I've been able to tell, less...competititive.  (and you have to go through
some stupid password authentication procedure just to get the clients :( )

	To check out the bovine stuff, which does the proxy servers, check
out:

	http://bovine.st.hmc.edu

	They have complete stats there on the effort, and they pretty much
seem to be what has taken over for genx, and they've done a much better and
more organized job of it (and you don't need to be password authenticated
to get the clients)
