Name of site: ``pitt'' What the site is all about: This is the University of Pittsburgh Computer Science Department. We are running V7 UNIX on a PDP-11/45. Name of contact person at site: Robert Hoffman Electronic mail address of contact person: ..!mcnc!idis!pitt!hoffman U.S. Mail address of contact person. Univ. of Pittsburgh CS Dept. 306 Alumni Hall Pittsburgh, PA 15260 Phone number of contact person. (412) 624-1729 Systems with whom news articles are exchanged. (what kind of link, who the neighbor(s) are). News is currently exchanged with idis, Pitt's Interdisciplinary School of Library & Information Science. The link is via a 1200 baud autodialer and we poll idis 4 times a day. Systems with whom mail is exchanged. (what kind of link, who the neighbor(s) are, what frequency of connection, whether or not you'll pass outside mail along). Mail, like news, is currently exchanged only with idis when we poll that system. 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. We are willing to connect to new sites, especially in the Western Pennsylvania area. We have 300/1200 baud dialup modems that support the Bell 103 & 212 protocols as well as the Vadic 3400. Our dial-out modem is currently fixed at 1200 baud but will handle both Bell 212 and Vadic 3400 modes. Our telephone rate structure is relatively independent of distance or time of day, so polling other sites does not present a problem. If you want to publish your uucp phone number, login, and password, include that info. We will give a separate uucp login to each site that desires a connection to us. Please contact us for that information. One final note: I have seen several maps that list site ``pitt45''. This is an obsolete name that was used while debugging the uucp software for this site and should be changed to read ``pitt'' on all maps.
