Your problem is that you want to try to talk us into believing that we have a problem with reliability, while for most of us it is clear that we first and foremost have a problem with existance. The amateur digital network is nearly dead, we are trying to revive it and make it thrive like it did in the early days, a network built and operated by hobbyists, and you are continuously trying to impress us with your knowledge about professional networks and your concerns about failure modes.
Rob, take a chill pill.
Take a look at the HamWAN, HAMNET, and what I'm doing here in the bay area. It's very much alive, and we're educating people about high-speed ham packet networks everyday. I had over 200 people at the TAPR forum at Dayton this year for my talk.
I am not talking about the work you do locally but about the way you approach "us" after you have found some problem with your gateway implementation. Not even mainly about the discussion that just has started, but about a similar discussion that was started about the same topic some time ago. You continuously refer to Brian's system at UCSD as "broken", and I don't like that attitude. Especially not because it really is possible to fit in your system to co-exist in the network as it is now, as is demonstrated by our gateway.
