I'm sure if you wanted to donate a couple of more Sequents, a few
disc farms, and the T-3 links, they'd be glad to install them around the
country so your thruput would be higher.

I believe they already have multiple machines at Falls Church; trying
to operate multiple sites across the country would cost lots more than
the link charges do now. I've ask about what it would take to get a
POP here, but haven't received a reply yet. They're probably trying to
figure out just what kind of a nut I am.... :-)

You might schedule your connections during low-traffic periods; the
postmaster there might be able to recommend some times. It would be to
all our (their customers) benefit to spread the load around.

I support drug testing. I believe every public official should be given a
shot of sodium pentathol and ask "Which laws have you broken this week?".
