We address the remarks of Dominguez, Lopez, and Simonin (Phys. Rev.B 42, 8665 (1990); preceding paper) on the determination of the normal-to-superconducting ({ital N}-{ital S}) phase boundary in randomsuperconducting networks. We refute their claims that the disappearanceof the fine structure of the {ital N}-{ital S} boundary and the change of the critical exponent {ital k} for the slope of the critical field on({ital p}-{ital p}{sub {ital c}}) are due to the introduction of very weak links between nodes in the superconducting networks.
