I am looking for someone who is willing to act as an Internet forwarder for a group of small systems located in and around Newport RI. Four of the systems are currently registered in the .US domain and three more are either in the process of registering or waiting for me to give them the go ahead. The way we have things set up right now is that my system calls the Internet forwarder and picks up all the mail destined for any of the hosts and then calls each of the local hosts to deliver the mail. This way we concentrate the long distance phone calls to keep the cost down and we also lessen the burden on the forwarder host. The reason that I am looking for a new forwarder instead of continuing to use the existing one is that my attempts to add the fifth host to the list have met with empty promises and non-caring silence. I figure that almost two months should be more than enough time to make a 10 minute change to a configuration file, especially since basically all they needed to do was copy one of the existing entries and change the name. So, would someone be willing to act as the Internet forwarder for the group of us and allow me to set up a uucp link to their system so that I may dial in and pick up the mail. Mail traffic currently consists of around a half dozen messages a day, frequently only one or two messsages a day. Location is not a problem since I am currently calling long distance to the existing forwarder and once you leave RI the rates flatten out real quick, the only restriction is that I don't want to call outside of the US. I am currently doing all of the calling and am willing to continue doing so, so there would be no financial costs for you other than the cost of the disk space. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out in this matter. -- David H. Brierley Home: dave@galaxia.Newport.RI.US Work: dhb@quahog.ssd.ray.com Be excellent to each other.
