OK. UUNET will provide all of the necessary computer and telephone
resources necessary to maintain the UUCP map.  I don't see any need for
a travel budget, so I won't fund that. Given the existing volunteer labor,
that brings the net cost to maintaining the maps to virtually zero.

In addition, UUNET will register a domain and provide a name server for
anyone willing to pay a one time fee of $35. (Of course UUNET
subscribers will not have to pay any additional fee). You will still
need to find your own forwarder. If you are connected to a machine
directly connected to uunet AND THAT MACHINE CONSENTS, uunet will also
act as your forwarder, via that directly connected machine.
