Systems with whom mail is exchanged.
(what kind of link, who the neighbor(s) are, what frequency
of connection, whether or not you'll pass outside mail along).
All mail is via uucp.
acsedm - (Aspen Computing Solutions) We call them any time between
1715 and 0800 M[DS]T. We poll them 3 times/night for
outgoing traffic.
alberta - We poll them once/hour for news and mail.
They are our main source of news/mail (thanks Rob!)
athabasca - This is a direct site. We also poll them every
4 hours or so for outbound traffic.
danger - We poll them once/hour. We are their only news/mail
connection.
quality - (Quality Steel Foundries) They are a direct site between
2330 and 0630 M[DS]T. We poll them for outbound traffic
roughly 3 times/night. Due to problems with their dial-in
line, they are not too reliable. We are their only mail
feed.
teletron - (Teletronic Communications Ltd.). They are a
direct call. We are their main news/mail feed.
We poll them every 2 hours during the day, and
pass traffic on demand at other times.
We will gladly connect to new mail sites. See the following...
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?
We have volunteered to try and take some of the load off of
'alberta'. At present, we are dial-out only. Pending a
relocation of our office, we will establish dial-in as well.
Anyone who is a local call from Edmonton is welcome to contact
us for a feed. We prefer to run sendbatch hourly, just before
'uucico -r1' to prevent congestion in the spool directories.
We will accomodate time restricted sites as well as we can.
These will be a bit of a problem until dial-up arrives.
