Fluke would like to put our newly-acquired TrailBlazers to good use by
hooking them up to UUNET for UUCP and News transfer. However, a few
months ago we saw some articles posted in various newsgroups about the
clogged lines and unreliable feeds they were getting from UUNET, particularly
during the night and through Tymnet.
What is your current opinion about UUNET access and reliability?
Is the access better through the 800 or local number?
(Does Tymnet charge a per-packet or similar tariff?)
Is it possible to get a full news feed during the midnight-8AM times?
Mail me your opinions and comments; I'll post a summary (I promise) if I
get enough responses.
Thanks in advance,
