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:
