The site link table entries below are graded as follows:
A = Excellent connectivity (calls approx. every 1-2 hours)
B = Very good connectivity (calls approx. every 3-6 hours)
C = Good connectivity (calls approx. 1-2 times a day)
These entries represent normal minimum frequencies; sites may
often call more frequently than indicated.

Willingness (or lack thereof) to connect to new sites that
want to join usenet. If you run uucp, tell if new sites can
call you, if you will poll them, what your policy is.
If on the arpanet, are you willing to forward news on to new
sites by establishing an arpanet usenet connection?
Disk space limitations currently make it difficult
for us to pass along netnews. However, we will
gladly pass mail for any of the graded sites above,
so long as it doesn't become outrageously voluminous.
If you want to publish your uucp phone number, login, and password,
include that info.
