jdi@psuvax.UUCP (06/05/84)
Well, a decision has been reached. In the anticipation of other vaxen (please,
Mr. Dec?) we have decided to change the uucp name of 'psuvax' to 'psuvax1' at
the same time we convert to 4.2. In addition to this message I will be sending
mail to each of the sites we connect to -- who will hopefully put a line for
BOTH psuvax1 and psuvax in their L.sys files. Thank you, the new site info
looks like this:

Why keep people using their hardware flavour in their sitenames instead
of showing up with something original? In this way you effectively limit
the choice of a unique sitename to only 3 or so characters!
P.S. Don't flame because of "mcvax". That too will change somewhere in the
future. Locally the site is already known as "boring" (!).

With some (System V?) sites running a uucp which doesn't distinguish
site names after the first 6 chars, I would caution against "psuvax1"
as being totally distinguishable from "psuvax2".
