bigtex is a 12MHz machine with 3meg of RAM and 102meg of disk space.  It is
primarily used by me to do source code work and to move news & mail between
several machines.  News comes primarily from utastro into the group
bigtex|reality1|osi3b2 with melpad as a backup.

I have no problem making links, and in fact am looking for a link into Houston
or Dallas for bigtex and osi3b2, should anyone in those cities want a free
link into Austin (or Manchester NH :-).

I will have a guest account for the curious, but no anonymous uucp links.
The guest account is not active yet as I haven't quite gotten around to setting
up security completely, and Microport's archaic uucico is determined to give
away my MCI long distance codes.
