Hi Jim,

Thanks for all that you do for the packetcluster family.  My node, at

telnet dxc.w6rgg.net 7300

is not listed.  However, at this instant, it is not accessible via telnet
because of a problem which popped up after an AC power failure in my area.
I can't seem to resolve it, and my IP expert won't be able to get to it for
some unknown number of days.  List me, if you can, or not; whatever works
best for you!

73, Bob W6RGG
