In the interest of keeping the west alive as  well,  I  would  be
very  interested  in  adding to the network. I know the lyndon at
atha would want some input as well.
  Nebulus requires more disk (it's currently  at  630  megs)  but
ports,  modems  and  ether are already here. I am sure that if we
all discuss this with earnest we can pull it off. I  heard,  also
at that famous UU meeting that UUNET is in the process of setting
up a statewide network of machines as well.  I  do  not  see  the
point  of  UUNET-north  if  we  are going to compete with that. I
would like to see Canadian money stay here not drift  across  the
border in NNTP packets.
  This is a poll of all that are reading, what would you like  to
see  in  a  UUNET-north.  I don't think a free for all ftp - uucp
gateway would be a good  idea.  If  we  pooled  out  expertise  I
believe we could pull this off.
  Telly, do you want to take the lead, nebulus will disappear for
while! sigh!
