Someone has finally figured out the net god's insidious plan :-)

Actually, I was wondering how many UUNET's it would take. In the original
posting Rick Adams mentioned that it could handle 25 simultaneous
connections (uucico). This should be able support over 100 and full feed 
connections. Probably more with appropriate hardware upgrades. 

There are two alternatives. Multiple UUNETS. Or simply use one UUNET as a hub
to connect the existing backbone sites who become regional distribution
points.
