As far as I know there are no public access usenet machines in the Hamilton
area. If I'm wrong can someone send me the names of people who offer this

Well I can't speak policy for the whole campus but the computer science 
department will only grant accounts to non-academics under special
circumstances. Access to usenet does not qualify as a special circumstance.

As of this time the campus does NOT have a general purpose Unix box which
is available on a cash for resources basis.
