vuwcomp	calgary(DAILY)

Systems with whom news articles are exchanged.
  ACSnet link to munnari in Melbourne, Australia

Systems with whom mail is exchanged.

  UUCP - we currently call calgary daily, but will increase the
  frequency once some x.25 problems have been ironed out.

  ACSnet - we also call munnari daily, but will be increasing this too.

  For now, we pass mail on at no charge, but once we get established
  will want to recover our communications costs (we are not worried about
  cpu usage, disk space, administration etc).  Because of the inconvenience
  of collecting small bills from overseas, we will charge the user/site
  in New Zealand for both incoming and outgoing mail.

Willingness (or lack thereof) to connect to new sites that want to join usenet.

  Currently we are the only site in New Zealand receiving netnews.  We
  hope to encourage other NZ sites to join.  Sites will be able to use x.25,
  or 1200 bps dialup to connect to us, preferably outside working hours.
  We are willing to call, or be called.
