What the site is all about:
Center for Visual Science, Univ. of Rochester.
Offers graduate and under-graduate courses in
visual physiology and perception leading to
joint degrees with other departments at U of R.
All the faculty and staff and most of the students
associated with the Center have accounts. Work load
consists of word processing, statistical/graphics
processing and analysis of data collected from
laboratory computers(mostly running RT-11). Several
courses will be using a local USENET newsgroup.
Ur-cvsvax consists of a VAX/750(5 Mb), 1 RA81, 1 RA60, 1 TU80,
1 RX02, 32 line Emulex Statcon-11, 1 DZ-11 and several modems.
Running 4.2bsd. Using S and BMDP.

*A 'switch line' here means a hard-wired line mediated by a Develcon switching
computer. It's mainly used to connect stand-alone terminals to a campus-wide
network of computers including VAXen, DEC-2060's, IBM 30xx's and 40xx's.
We've only been running UUCP for 4 months now, so our polling policy
is not well established. Right now we're happy to be part of a local
network whose central node connects to the outside world. We do have
auto-dial modems, so establishing, say, a weekly connection by phone
is not out of the question.
We are not the ARPANET.
