	It looks as though I'm not the only one having difficulties with 
techdiver@opal.com.  I've "echo-ed" Andy's and Dave's email to me back to the 
BBS here as I *do* seem to be able to get through and they cannot, but I won't 
echo any more.

	Who is responsible for sorting out network problems like this ??

	nb  I just tried Aquanaut using Mosaic and World-Wide-Web and it worked 
fine for me.  Then I tried using Gopher.  I could 'fetch' the "Aquanuat" and 
then the "Techdiver" menus up OK.  However, when I tried to fetch the "Archive 
by Author", "Archive by Subject" or "About the Techdiver Mailing List" 
options... it just said that these directories were *empty*.  Fetching "Show
new 
Articles" DID work and gave me all the techdiver BBS postings back to 31 
October.  Is this as good as it gets ??

     Regards, Steve M.
