A carrier pigeon

Probably just about as reliable too,
in this world of lost connections. In fact
with PF1 delivering 404's last night, I
thought I'd have to use a skinnum to
deliver this week's WFTWE.:(

Quite tasty . More meat on them than on Sparrows as well .

Truly a case of shooting the messenger?

243559 2004-06-12 02:51:00 When the skinnum is perched (in a tree), is it logged on ? R2x1 (4628)
243560 2004-06-12 02:58:00 But of course there is an Internet RFC covering the use of "Avian Carriers". I believe there was a successful test made recently. Graham L (2)
243561 2004-06-12 03:29:00 Did it come under the general heading of - "read, mark, and inwardly digest".

That is a fairly old protocol, and doesn't have an ISO number

243562 2004-06-12 03:39:00 RFC1149 (www.ietf.org) has been revised to RFC2549 (ww.ietf.org). Some Norwegians did a test (www.blug.linux.no). Graham L (2)
243563 2004-06-12 03:57:00 Probably due to ne(s)t congestion, the middle link went unserviceable.
In the interim, try RFC2549 rev. a (www.ietf.org) as a substitute.

It appears that there's nothing new under the sun (Ask Daedalus)
