Yes, but the NWS is interested in Unidata being the vehicle for getting
the Level II data out to the university community whether or not they
are on Internet 2.

I don't know if they are on I2, but my impression was that they are.

Jim's I2 connection was supposed to be hooked up yesterday, but it was
delayed:

  "Our Abilene link was supposed to be turned on yesterday (10 June), but
  UNH had some hardware problems at their end--so after a year, I'm still
  waiting. However, I think that this problem may be resolved shortly
  (within a week or so)."
