               North American Backbone - Status and Changes
              ==============================================

                                BACKSTAT.NA


   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 additions, deletions and
   requests, as well as North American Backbone contacts.

   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.
