[net.news.newsite] Masscomp joins USENET

tjt (03/18/83)

Name of site.
Massachusetts Computer Corporation (Masscomp)

What the site is all about.
Masscomp makes computer systems for high-speed data acquisition,
graphical analysis and display, and general computation.  These
computer systems make use of the MC68000 processor and our own
modification of System III UNIX with additions from 4.1BSD.

We have an VAX-11/750 running 4.1BSD which we used initially for
software development, document production and general timesharing.

Willingness (or lack thereof) to connect to new sites that
want to join usenet.
We would like to connect to other sites both for redundancy and since
not all the newsgroups seem to get to mit-vax.  We are willing to
allow other sites to call us, or to poll sites more or less nearby.
We are currently using some BIZCOMP 103/212 compatible modems with
builtin dialers, and there may be some rough edges still in our
dialout routines.  We also have an AJ-1259 103/212/Vadic 3400
compatible modem, but without any dialout capability.

If on the arpanet, are you willing to forward news on to new
sites by establishing an arpanet usenet connection?
N/A.
