From: unza!root@puku.unza.zm (Superuser) To: randy@psg.com Subject: Zambia pingable Date: Tue, 22 Nov 94 17:20:00 ZST Dear Randy, You'll be pleased to hear that Zambia is now on the Internet ... a very exciting day for us! Our mail server is a machine called puku.unza.zm and its IP address is 196.7.240.1 Please feel free to ping it .. but be prepared for some long delays. We have just pinged you and each pacxket took between 2 and 6 seconds to get back to us. Although I'm using the root account you can now mail to me on neil@puku.unza.zm I guess this is when the work really starts. One quick question though ... when you ping us could you confirm whether the response times that you witness seem reasonable ... or whether there is further configuration work that we need to do to improve things. At the moment the line is holding up well at 14.4 (sometimes retraining down to 12) and has been up for just over 6 hours. Thanks for yall your help on this. Best Wishes, Neil
