What the site is all about.
 This is a free public-access site
 for any responsible persons who need
 a Unix login in Boston. So far, our
 hardware resources are extremely
 limited (IBM PC/AT with only a
 single modem -- this last detail will
 be remedied shortly) but with support
 from our users, the system will eventually
 grow to fit the demand, or at least to come close.

Name of contact person at site.

Systems with whom mail is exchanged.

 uni3 (daily or demand)
  We are more than willing to relay any mail,
  subject to the restrictions of our hardware.

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 cannot feed news because of hardware limitations, but
 mail links are fine, and in fact anyone may login as newuser
 to obtain an account here (this will open to the public during
 the first 2 weeks of March). We'd prefer to be polled unless
 this poses problems for sites wishing to connect.


If you want to publish your uucp phone number, login, and password,
include that info.
 Call David Watson (617) 738-6035 for this information, or send
 mail through existing links indicating a desire to connect.
