If you arrange things through uunet there's a one-time $35 fee (do you have
to be a uunet client first??) and I hear that they take care of most of the
paperwork.

cardiology.ummc.umich.edu currently forwards for about 9-10 uucp neighbors.
All the sites that cardiology.ummc.umich.edu forwards for dealt directly
with the NIC -- there's a simple form to fill out and e-mail to
westine@isi.edu.  It's free.

Finding a forwarder is a bit harder, since the Internet site might have to
do a bit of re-writing or other magic to stop "MX-loops".  We run the IDA
sendmail package which makes forwarding pretty easy (mail me for details).
Adding new sites for forwarding is as simple as adding an entry in my
Systems file + modifying a few IDA configuration files.
