Updated: 11-23-98
   As of 11-23-98 we have full tcp connectivity most of the time (hi hi)
thru the Internet gateway co-located at w9da.ampr.org in Carol Stream
(ILCAR). The ILELG, ILPAL,ILWIN, and ILLOM nodes and user LANs are being
routed by W9DA. The co-sysop is KB9KTC and family.
  For those of you, who would like to get their tcp/ip packet addresses
for Illinois, the address coordinator is Ken Stritzel, WA9AEK.
The preferred/quickest way to contact him, is to use his Internet address,
ken@svs.com . Sending messages to his packet address is NOT RECOMMENDED.
Alternately, send a SASE to him at 2459 Sun Valley Road, Lisle IL 60532-3450
(Note that requests without SASE will not be processed).
He will need your name, address, zip code, and callsign with identifier
to be used if needed such as a (-1). If you are in the Chicago area and
wish to be network routed by a packet router then you must also supply the
frequency and callsign of the network router to be used. 

These routers include:
W9ZSJ-1 Palatine on 144.99, 446.05 (9600)
W9CCU-1 Hoffman Estates on 145.31
N9MOO-1 Elgin on    145.59, 430.35 (9600)
