Much appreciated.  At first blush though, I haven't been able to find
the protocol description I'm pretty sure I remember.  At least not
there.  So now I'm wondering if I just need better search-fu, or if it
was actually on a different list entirely.

Did the Metzdowd list exist in the 1993-1995 timeframe?  'cos if so and
if it really wasn't on cpunx, then by process of elimination it was
probably here.  I chased the Metzdowd archives back to March of 2001
and the first message there says the list is coming back after a
four-week hiatus ....
