YEp, back in Central Iowa net in the '90's where i first started as a mo our
nec did the crp thing and just happened to be the primary feed for most n290
members after dan Buda's fog-line quit doing it.

Iirc from my reading of p4 nc's are other than nodelist maintenance to provide
routed netmail, but oculd be wrong about that.

Iirc net 283, Eastern Iowa net at that time had a nec, but folks fed from all
sorts of places.  IN fact, within n283 I think there were three or four crp
plans in operation. One for the Quad cities, one for the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City
area, and another for the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area. The southeastern Iowa part
of that net had another crp which I administered, as I was the main echomail
mover into and out of it. I was rather surprised there for awhile that the nc
and rc14 didn't separate southeastern Iowa out of n283 because at our peak I
believe iirc we had 6-8 nodes there.

Regards,
          Richard
