That machine is called ncoast.  I was one of the original people to set that
machine up for USENET access.  I believe you could get an account on that
machine if you want.  I think they're in the maps.  You can send mail to
ncoast!root.  If you want them to be a notes feed for you (which they would
probably be willing to do if you make the phone calls), you would need UUCP
software and notes software on your machine.   You would probably be able
to find a closer machine to do that for you.

Disclaimer: I no longer use that machine and do not know if the situation
is still the same as when I was there.
