	I, too, run a Public access UN*X system.  It has been running 
over two years now.  It consists of an AT&T 3b2/300 with 8 phone
lines.  We run the PicoSpan conferencing system (The same program
The WELL runs) plus full access to UNIX.  4 of the lines are available
to any interested person, with access to UNIX, and PicoSpan.  Guests do
not have access to usenet or off site mail.  There are
also two contributor only lines.  Contributors ($50 a year) have
access to off site mail (uucp) and usenet.  I also have two dedicated
uucp lines. ( I feed news to a number of large sites).  All modems
are 300/1200/2400 baud.

Main guest number is 312 283-0559.
