Show me *ONE* site that provides uucp access to images. One of the
main reasons for proposing the images group was that it would allow
sites without an Internet connection to access things like the
Voyager images. I've sent numerous queries to people about getting
these images via uucp. No way. I ended up getting them through email
from someone at an Internet connected site.
