Site ID: ixn5c (aka ihn5c) Contact: Paul Lustgarten ixn5c!pcl (312) 979-1736 Description: ixn5c is a VAX 11/780 running USG UNIX 4.0. It is used primarily to support the physical and circuit design departments working on #5 ESS, the Bell System's newest, digital, Electronic Switching System. ixn5c is a VAX re-incarnation of ihn5c, an 11/70, which was not previously on Usenet. Location: Although we are the first Indian Hill South (IX) Usenet site, we are just across the street to the south from Bell Lab's Indian Hill (IH) facility, and across the street to the east from Indian Hill West (IW), in Naperville, Illinois. As the building is completed, some other #5-related machines will be joining us in the move from IH to IX. Connections: Like most of the IH/IW/IX Usenet sites, we receive news from the rest of Usenet through a primary relay site, which is currently ihps3. However, we can exchange mail directly with anyone on the Bell Labs Network (e.g. ihnss, harpo, ihux*, houx*, inux*, etc.), although it may be necessary to use our old name of ihn5c for a while from some machines. Willingness to connect to new sites: I'm willing, but it's not up to just me. Call and we'll see what can be done.
