On September 1, 1984, the UCSD (University of California, San Diego) academic computer will change the names of all of its machines to conform to the name length limits of System V and to make it easier for us to change the function of a machine without confusing our local user population. Although we hope to be able to provide a mail/name service soon to eliminate most of the need for all these names to appear in the outside world, for now other sites can use the new names shown in the table attached to the end of this note. We will continue to accept and forward mail using the old names for a couple of months. Our dialin procedure has also changed slightly. Our machines are served by a front end contention switch which must be told the name of the required machine. From now on, the proper response to its "Request:" prompt is the actual name of the desired machine rather than any abbreviation. This is particularly important for people whose uucp calls the machines involved. Proper L.sys entries (with the passwords changed) for all machines are included below. Name of site. The UCSD Academic Computer Center Machine names: sdcc1 VAX 780 VMS (formerly sdccrv1) sdcc2 VAX 780 VMS (formerly sdccs2) sdcc3 VAX 780 UNIX 4.2 (formerly sdccsu3) sdcc4 VAX 750 VMS sdcc5 VAX 750 VMS sdcc6 VAX 750 UNIX 4.2 (formerly sdccs6) sdcc7 VAX 750 UNIX 4.2 (formerly sdccs7) sdcc8 VAX 750 VMS sdcc9 SUN 120 UNIX 4.2 sdcc10 PDP11/70 UNIX 2.x sdcc11 PDP11/70 UNIX 2.x sdcc12 Pyramid 90X UNIX 4.2/System V sdcc13 Pyramid 90X UNIX 4.2/System V (The VAXen change between VMS and UNIX depending upon the computing demands each quarter. This is what they are now.) What the site is all about. The Academic Computer Center provides computing services and support for classwork, research, and other non-administrative applications.

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 don't have arpanet. We're generally receptive to new sites.
