I have been interested if anybody would use the WAIS sources on 
nic.funet.fi... After all if I invest some time into preparing 
sources I would like to know that they are being used. Well it 
has been roughly a week since I officially announced the 
availability of the sources and if I run a grep on the 
server.log and pipe to wc I see that there has been 110 
connections made... not bad considering no one knew anything 
about WAIS a few months ago.

sun4 /mnt/home/csc/harper 2> grep Accepted /p/log/wais/server.log | wc
     110    1100    7757

I love lists, so here is a list of the main users at the
momment. I hope this is not a breach of confidentiality, but rather
praise for pioneers. The split is almost 50/50 between Europe/States,
which to my mind would indicate that "Europeans" are quick to
accept new technology... (oh! how we like to snivel and lamment
that we lag behind... its just not true).

nic.funet.fi
virusmac2.pc.Helsinki.FI
crocus.medicine.rochester.edu
bchm.biochem.duke.edu
finsun.csc.fi
mac025.bio.vu.nl
cato.aa.ox.com
genome.Stanford.EDU
rainer-mac.EMBL-Heidelberg.DE

By the way did you see that juicy REBASE text... drool... I just
think it is begging to be a source.
