Hi Jason,

Boy this was interesting - four different people and three different
answers.

Anyway, the profiler data, FSL2, is not proprietary, but is available
for distribution only to universities.  So, if your upstream host has it
you are free to get it, but you may not distribute it except to
universities.

If your upstream host does not receive this feed, let me know and we'll
set something else up for you.

I also found out that there is hourly profiler data available via
NOAAPORT.  It's not as timely as the FSL2 data which is, I believe,
every six minutes.  FYI.

Anne
