Just how much do "amd!pesnta!lsuc" and "utzoo" have to do with each other?
Yet these two machines are within a couple of miles of each other, and
call each other on demand plus polling.  For that matter, "utcsri" and
"utastro" are 2000 miles apart (U of Toronto vs. U of Texas).  Names and
routes are already very different animals.
