I would like to suggest that ALL sites with map entries consider providing a
uucp (or TCP/IP as appropriate) connection to ALL their local neighbors. This
may result in a higher level of local-call (non-toll) communications path for
a large number of sites. If a large number of sites provide this level of
connectivity fewer long distance (toll-call) should be required to support the
net (at least in the continental US states). My site would be happy to feed 1
or more long distance sites. Just trying to make a constructive suggestion, I'm
currently an end node on a news/mail feed path and would be happy to attempt
to provide support for another site to 'pay my dues' for the sites supporting
me.
