The Advanced Computing Research Facility (ACRF) at Argonne National
Laboratories offers much of the same facilities. It is accessable via
MFEnet, ARPAnet, and TIMENET (dialup). They have (among other things):

	24 processor Sequent Balance
	20 processor Encore MultiMax
	8  processor Alliant FX/8
	2  processors Ardent Titan (soon to be four)
	8  processor INTEL HyperCube
	8  processor INTEL Hypercube with Vector Processors
	1024 processors DAP
	16384 Connection Machine 2

You have to submit a proposal to use the machines. Disk space is always a
problem . They offer courses >4 times a year. Try sending questions to
levine@anl-mcs.arpa

I have used (and continue to use) their facilities, and they are excellent.
