I see the delay due to SGI's firewall when I send postings
out too, and it's very annoying.

The fact that I can send an email faster to Herbert Xu
in Australia (several thousand miles away) than oss.sgi.com
(which is a short drive away) would be an amusing anecdote
if it didn't negatively impact my work.

I think it's time to move this list to a more reliable and
efficient place.

Ralf, thanks for all of your effort and time maintaining
oss.sgi.com for our stay as guests via the netdev list.

I've created netdev@vger.kernel.org, and folks can start
to join up there.  If someone knows the appropriate
archive maintainers to contact (marc.theaimsgroup.com
et al.) please let them know about this transition.  It
would be much apprecited.
