1. How do you convince a computer company to connect its LAN to
Internet if it could use UUCP to deliver the e-mail and USENET news?
Possible answer : Use telnet/ftp.
   While telnet/ftp is convenient, it's not so important to a
   company unless you need to use remote computation substantially.

2. If a company decides to connect to Internet, what should it do to get
on the Internet?
How much will it cost for initial investment and daily operation
compared to a UUCP link?

Your help and comments will be highly appreciated.
