Due to the complaints, I broke down and nursed ihnp4 a bit.  So now
there isn't a backlog to a major site that is answering the phone. 
There were about two dozen sites that still have backlogs, but I
manually tested them and found that they weren't answering their phones
(NO ANSWER, NO CD, etc.).

One major link (tellab5) has a huge backlog, but they call ihnp4 (it
can't call them for their lack of inbound modems/dataswitch without flow
control for uucp).

ihnp4 is still congested, but the mail (and news) is getting through.
