                           Dec 24, 2006


   BACKSTAT.NA is a status report prepared by the North American Backbone
   Robot. It is distributed in the BACKBONE file echo and posted in the
   Z1_BACKBONE echo.  It summarizes BACKBONE.NA additions, deletions and
   requests, as well as North American Backbone contacts.  The cutoff for
   changes is midnight Friday night, and the update will be published the
   following Sunday.

   Further information about the North American Backbone's distribution
   system can be found in the BOFAQ (North American Backbone Frequently
   Asked Questions) file which is updated as required.  Additional sources
   of information are:

       - BACKBONE.NA:  The primary listing of echomail areas on the NAB.
       - Z1_BACKBONE:  Echomail area for contact with the NAB ZHubs.
