Next question, how are we numbering areas, this season? For example, I
am interested in 156.
Did you mean node number 156 (in a particular area)? Area numbers can't go
higher than 63.

Hello!
Actually I was not aware of that fact. For example I am aware that
someone does have 51 assigned to them, at one point.

Gregg,
I have sent you the HECnet area list.

If someone is on HECnet, or just logged into Mim (telnet to
Mim.Update.UU.SE, and login with guest/guest), you can check areas and
nodenames at:

MIM::US:[DECNET]DECNET.TXT       (areas)
MIM::US:[DECNET]NODENAMES.ALL (nodenames)

And as others mentioned, areas only go from 1 to 63, while node numbers
within one area go from 1 to 1023.

And there is no special algorithm for assigning area numbers. If you
think you want one, and it's free, just let me know.

	Johnny
