Hello John, Welcome aboard! Neither Bates nor Colby are participants currently, but after you begin getting data, they may want to feed from you ;) I belive you are located in Brunswick, Maine..so maybe a feed out of the Boston area would be suitable. Could you please perform from your ldm machine (which I will need the name and IP of): traceroute synoptic.mit.edu traceroute snow.nrcc.cornell.edu traceroute ldm.envsci.rutgers.edu and just for fun traceroute thelma.ucar.edu and attach the results back to me. Do you have any idea what data feeds you anticipate being desired? Please see: http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/ldm/feedtypes/index.html Cheers, -Jeff ____________________________ _____________________ Jeff Weber address@hidden Unidata Support PH:303-497-8676 COMET Case Study Library FX:303-497-8690 University Corp for Atmospheric Research 3300 Mitchell Ln http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/jweber Boulder,Co 80307-3000 ________________________________________ ______________________ On Fri, 21 Feb 2003, Unidata Support wrote: > > ------- Forwarded Message > > >To: address@hidden > >From: "John Meyers" <address@hidden> > >Subject: Joining Unidata/IDD > >Organization: Bowdoin College > >Keywords: 200302211942.h1LJgJt00417 > > Good afternoon, > > I am writing to announce that Bowdoin College would like to join the IDD > network.
