The list still works, but I don't know if people are still actively using
amanda.My group was, but I retired in 2021. And they may have switched since
then.But in any case, there's nobody on this list for it. Well, I mean, I'm
here, but I don't check email very often, and I don't remembermuch of my amanda
details.
But you can consider this a PING to see if anybody else is here?
