Craig,

Thanks for the note.  I wonder whether anyone has a copy of 209? We
don't at ISI.  I seem to recall once having a copy of one of Eric's
documents about EGP, but I think it was the one where he demolished
the idea of using EGP as a global routing protocol.  Anyway, it seems
to have slipped away...

I would be glad to update the online IEN index, but first I would like
some corrobative evidence that this citation is correct.

Bob
