   Interex's "domain" is .uucp.  We haven't linked up with an "official"
   domain yet.  Have been trying to get HP to let us join thiers, but they
   are correctly reluctant.

Putting Interex in .hp.com might threaten the non-profit status of the
user group.  User groups must maintain an arms-length relationship
with the vendor, or the IRS decides that they are part of the vendor's
marketing and support.

So, it is really best if Interex has its own domain.
