This is an outstanding offer, and one I'd like to avail myself of. I
will be moving back to the DC area soon. I have an account on a UUCP
site, but none on an Internet-connected one. I'm thinking up starting
up my own, and need a MX host local to the DC area. Where do I call?
(Anywhere in the metro DC - i.e.  703/202/301 flat rate call will do.)
[For that matter, the existing .UUCP site would love one too....]
