I guess I should have not even mentioned "3B20" when I posted my request. All I really want to know is who is better: CDC or CDS? Certainly 3B people are not the only ones who have ever used the drives! Anyway, I thought that 3B users would be in a better position to advise me in this regard, since that is the intended use of my drives! Regarding *Bell System* net - I would love to see it, but I bet that the majority of BTL folks here would vote it down. Something about us WECo engineers that's not quite *Bell System*, at least that's the impression I usually get. I feel that there's much to be gained by opening a few more doors between BTL and WECo. The reason that you are even reading NETNEWS from "we??" sites is due to some BTL folks that have already opened some of these doors. Unfortunately, it has been my experience that WECo folks are *outside* to many BTL folks. This would be a great topic for human nets, no?
