Hi Tom,

continue to try to reconnect to Cornell, usually with the HDS feed.

Interestingly, the first indication we got about a machine running
LDM-6.0.[01] not being tenacious enough about reconnecting was at UQAM,
and that was in its feed requests to vortex.esc.

We have had no reports from SUNY Albany about problems running the
LDM-6.0.1[01] on striker, so your report of a regular crash on it is
news to us.

re: feeding from atm

You are correct, atm was not requesting DIFAX.  It is now.

Cheers,
