Up here in the NorthEast, for legal reasons, there is not one ISP who will let you broadcast via BGP peer a 44-net block unless UCSD is to relinquish ownership of the block to you and you can provide proof of this. Being a CTO for a few ISPs up here, I know the mentality of corporate lawyers quite well in this regard. 44-net is still viewed upon by many ISPs here to be an experimental network and is considered a liabilty to directly route on their own networks.

This may not be as much an issue in your region so it would be easy to keep blinded to this scenario. -- If Microsoft intended Windows to be for ham usage, they would have incorporated our protocols into their kernel. 73 de Brian Rogers - N1URO email: <n1uro(a)n1uro.ampr.org> Web: http://www.n1uro.net/ Ampr1: http://n1uro.ampr.org/ Ampr2: http://nos.n1uro.ampr.org Linux Amateur Radio Services axMail-Fax & URONode AmprNet coordinator for: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
