OK, here it is. I got several requests via e-mail, so I typed it in.
This is the letter I received Monday from PSI:

---------------v------v-----BEGIN PSI LETTER---v-----v-------v-----

From:	John Eldredge, Director of Sales & Marketing
Subject:	Changes in Terms and Conditions of UUPSI Service
Date:	February 28, 1991

The original intention of the UUPSI service was to provide an
inexpensive fixed-price, retail service to hundreds if not thousands
of customers. It was our expectation to sign up leaf sites (i.e.
terminal nodes) throughout the US, and not to provide a path to
others.

Our fixed price methodology stands in constrast to the usage based
service providers who want to encourage as much use as possible since
they bill according to this use.

To delineate this policy more rigorously, we have added new terms and
conditions to our UUPSI Order Form:
	
	``As this is a fixed price service, no third party traffic
outside of the organization or its staff is allowed. Specifically, 1:
no electronic mail whatsoever from another organization should be sent
or received through UUPSI; 2: if USENET/NEWS is fed to another
organization, no posting from that third party organization should be
sent through UUPSI.''

As per Section 10 of the order Form that you have signed, we are
informing you that effective the 15th of April 1991 these terms and
conditions are in effect. For customers looking to continue their
UUPSI services, no action is necessary as per this Order Form. For
customers who wish to end their UUPSI services do to this
clarification, please contact:

	Accounts Receivable
	PSI, Inc.
	Box 3850
	Reston, VA 22091

	For those wishing no restraints in the area of third-party
traffic, a more epxensive service is now available under a separate
contract. Please contact UUPSI Sales in Reston for more details. I am
enclosing the new UUPSI Order Form for your information.

Enclosure
