    Hello,

    It is impossible to read the second message that I had in fact posted. (It only shows a weird collection of signals.) Same thing happens with the end of the first message (org. science.) Other messages are fine. Can you help diagnose the nature of the problem? I need to make sure this message was adequately received by BPS members.

    Subject: Question about alliance data

    Hello BPS-Netters,

    A colleague and I need to find alliance data for the computer
    internetworking industry (e.g., Cisco Systems, 3Com, Juniper Systems;
    routers, bridges, switches).  We have found data via Lexis-Nexis Academic.
    However, the data is not in easily downloadable form (we ultimately need to
    read this data into SAS).   Does anyone have suggestions as to where we
    might find this data in a more usable format?

    Thanks in advance for your time

    Ed
