After all the discussion that went on over the Trailblazers,
did anyone (besides Ross and me :-) actually buy any???
BTW - In case you haven't heard, the "2 for 1" offer has been
extended to March 31/88.henry@utzoo.uucp (Henry Spencer) (01/21/88)

There are other sites hereabouts that are working on it. If anyone has been holding off for fear that nobody else will buy the things, go ahead and place your order before the 2-for-1 offer expires (again).

Is anyone looking at the possibility of linking the Trailblazer sites
together (in local areas) to form a news distribution backbone?
It seems to me the Trailblazer sites could shunt the stuff around and
then distribute to the slower sites. (This might also be a nice time
to look at who feeds who news and maybe shunt those around too)
Does anyone see problems in this?

Yo! We're here. In Vancouver the following sites have Trailblazers: dfi jspc centaa (six!!) paragon van-bc CentaA is David Ingram's tax preparation company. They run some sort of bulletin board on an Altos ( I believe ). dfi is Tom Rushworths personal machine, a Whitechapel MG1. jspc is Jonathon Storey, on an IBM AT, running uupc. paragon is Paragon computers, running on a Bell Technologies 386 with System V/386. van-bc is a Callan 68010 running Unisoft 5.0. I've heard only vague rumours of some other major (non unix) clients. Block Brothers is reputed to be using some to shuffle data across the country. The local rep, Steve Vencel is very supportive and seems to be very dedicated to making the Trailblazer the number one high speed modem in Western Canada. Now if I could only get him to get a Unix box :-) -- {ihnp4!alberta!ubc-vision,uunet}!van-bc!Stuart.Lynne Vancouver,BC,604-937-7532
