Robb,

The ping -s and traceroutes to Colostate are a little shaky.
The traceroute to cirrus.al.noaa.gov is great, a good routing
because they are on the NSN as well.  Would it be possible to
feed from them (I assume they are getting everything plus FSL2)
and keep aurora as a backup?  I think if we could get a constant
reliable feed that we would be free to feed someone.  I am getting
fairly comfortable with the ldm and Unix in general.  We would
certainly like to participate as much as possible.
