`I did. Pretty amazing. RMIT looks like it will finally be getting rid of those line traces.'
`RMIT definitely wants out,' Mendax said emphatically.
`Yep. Looks like the people at RMIT are sick of Mr Day crawling all over their computers with line traces.'
`Yeah. That admin at RMIT was pretty good, standing up to AARNET and the AFP. I figure Geoff Huston must be giving him a hard time.'
`I bet.' Prime Suspect paused. `You reckon the Feds have dropped the line traces for real?'
`Looks like it. I mean if RMIT kicks them out, there isn't much the Feds can do without the uni's cooperation. The letter sounded like they just wanted to get on with securing their systems. Hang on. I've got it here.'
Mendax pulled up a letter on his computer and scrolled through it.
