attcan is now bringing in news from uunet and feeding it
to lsuc and utzoo (though the attcan<->utzoo news link isn't
solid yet). attcan from uunet is via Trailblazer and is working
fine (more than fine, if our uucp logs are any indication --
according to uunet's latest postings in news.lists we're well
over 3Mb/day average now).
By the way, is comp.binaries.ibm.pc tremendously popular
in Toronto? It's accounting for almost 10% of the net traffic now.

It's accounting for almost 10% of the net traffic now. Of late there has been a lot of drek in comp.binaries.ibm.pc but the new moderator is now on board. Maybe we should give things a chance to settle down as a result of that and look at it again in a month or so. -- Norman Soley - Data Communications Analyst - Ontario Ministry of the Environment UUCP: utzoo!lsuc!ncrcan!---\ VOICE: +1 416 323 2623 {mnetor,utgpu}!ontmoh!ontenv!norm ENVOY: N.SOLEY "Mein Hund hat keine Nase"

Everything seems to be stable. I will be willing to take on new feeds (Trailblazers ONLY) around mid June. This delay is due to equipment arrival dates for my new computer room. When done attcan will have: 16 2400 baud AT&T 4024 modems. 10 on one hunt group, 6 direct dial. 2 Telebit Trailblazer Plus modems on direct dial numbers. over 2 Gigabytes of storage (6 X 300, 8 X 147 Meg). Extras include: 9.6 dedicated service to Montreal and Ottawa - multiplexed into 32 9600 baud virtual circuits each. I will be looking into propagating netnews to those cities later this summer.

Yes, it is. Given that AT&T Canada has expressed an interest in becoming a
major USENET node, the feed from uunet should be unrestricted. The utgpu
feed will continue to remain unrestricted.

Yes, ibm.pc.binaries is very popular, but perhaps at U of T we could make
more use of archive servers ... At present, the U o T UTCS Bulletin Board
is quite good at decoding and posting binaries to the board; this saves a
lot of work pasting together, cutting etc. and decoding.

Just to clarify - I will take on full feeds of Trailblazers only but will take mail feeds at any speed. Depending on statistics, I may take on 2400 baud feeds later this summer. ----- ____ _______ _____ _______ ------ Michael B.
