My main concern right now is to improve the quality of our connection.  I am
in a GTE area, while qusavx is in a Bell area. It typically takes 8 hours
(at 1200 baud) for uucp to transmit 150 files because of the inordinate number
of retries it has to do.  Therefore, I have had to turn off some of the high 
volume newsgroups for the moment until I can find a better solution.
