Additionally, following the publishing by Byte of the Plan 9 Network 
diagram from the University of York, I thought another graphic might 
be helpful for contrast purposes. My network can be seen as 
http://www.ftech.net/~plan9/netpic.htm. I look forward to seeing it 
reprinted in Computer Shopper.
