2.1.  Addressing

This number is used to construct the address of a radio pager server,
which forms the recipient address for the message, e.g., either

    
pager(_at_)6(_dot_)7(_dot_)7(_dot_)8(_dot_)0(_dot_)4(_dot_)9(_dot_)5(_dot_)1(_dot_)4(_dot_)1(_dot_)tpc(_dot_)int

or

    
pager(_dot_)ATOM(_at_)6(_dot_)7(_dot_)7(_dot_)8(_dot_)0(_dot_)4(_dot_)9(_dot_)5(_dot_)1(_dot_)4(_dot_)1(_dot_)tpc(_dot_)int

        I still don't understand why this  (and like-minded
print or FAX servers)  aren't addressed according to:

                pager+4159408776(_at_)pagerserver(_dot_)tpc(_dot_)int

        or even just

                +4159408776(_at_)pagerserver(_dot_)tpc(_dot_)int

Scaling.  Your proposal makes every message go to thru one single
machine, bringing it to it's knees.  Now or tomorrow.  Or yester-
day.
