What the site is all about:
We consult on a variety of hardware, software, design, and writing
projects. John was the first software employee at Sun Microsystems
and was a key team member in the development and production of
the Sun-1, Sun-2, and Sun-3 workstations. Laura writes technical
documentation and fiction and is an experienced Unix systems
programmer; her current project is a book on portable C programming.
We also maintain a large archive of public domain Unix software,
including most of net.sources.* from the last four years. Contact
us if you need a copy of something.

Willingness (or lack thereof) to connect to new sites that

Willing to connect to new mail and news sites.
We actually pay our phone bills out-of-pocket, so we can only
forward news via local calls or polls. We'll make mail
connections to anybody, assuming we expect to talk to someone
on the other end. We try to pick up our fair share of the costs
the net incurs for our traffic.
