  I have some questions about how to specify our uucp map
entry.

1)  I don't know what all the fields mean.  Here are my guesses:
    #N uucp node name
    #S System description, both hardware and software.
    #O Organization name
    #C Name of contact person at site.
    #E Path name of contact person. (What does the E stand for?)
    #T Telephone number of contact person.
    #P Postal address of site.
    #L Lat. and Lon. of site.
    #R ???
    #W ???

2) I don't know what to do about the #L field.  We could probably set up
   our sattelite navigation reciever and get an accurate enough value
   to seperate us from uwvax, across the street.  But we plan to set
   up another system directly above (upstairs) from our current one.
   Shouldn't the #L field at least contain an elevation entry.  And what
   happens when we put two machines next to each other.  Do we *really*
   have to call the surveyors in, just to get on the network.  

               :-)
