Jessica,
	I understand the difference between configured vs. announced networks.
That is not what I am asking. I must have been unclear in my previous question,
let me try again.

	If you grep "Total" from the March 10th network configuration announcment,
you get this:

aotearoa:[~/Mail/inbox] grep Total inbox/806
Total NSFNET T1 announced networks: 4835
Total NSFNET T3 announced networks: 2501

The total number of networks on each of the backbones has been different
in all of the announcements send out by Merit that I have seen. But today,
we find that they are the same:

aotearoa:[~/Mail/inbox] grep Total inbox/1233
 Total  T1 announced networks:  5012
       Total configured T3 networks:  5012

Oh, I see! You have changed the announcment to list "T1 announced" and "T3
configured". Would it be too much trouble to ask you to go back to the old
style?
