What are the advantages of being on different networks?  Or to rephrase
that question:

     o What hardware is required for UUCP,ARPA,BITNET,DECNET,MAILNET,CSNET?
       (Would it be feasable to try to obtain a feed on one of these 
        networks.  I have heard ARPA requires a very expensive controller
        and special phone lines so it probably is not for most persons.)

      o If anythig other than UUCP can be used, what are the advantages to
        these other netowrks (forgot to include micnet what ever that is.)
