			USENET DIRECTORY
			Wed Oct  7 23:32:18 PDT 1981

This directory is a compilation of the sites currently on USENET,
a logical network of sites running the network news (netnews).
This network consists entirely of Unix systems, connected by
various means (uucp net, berknet, arpanet).

The purposes of this directory are (1) so sites on usenet can
find out who else is on usenet, and (2) so new sites can find
someone nearby to hook up to.  It is requested that all new
sites post a message in the format of these messages on NET.general
announcing that they exist.

Note that the physical networks usenet is embedded in are much
larger.  The arpanet is organized by a central authority and
publishes a directory regularly.  The berknet configuration is
well known to any berknet site by reading /usr/net/network.map.
However, the uucp net is set up in such a way that for a new node
to be added, only the immediate neighbors need be aware of it,
and so noone really knows who all is on the uucp net.  Attempts
at making a uucp net map have failed because of the lack of a
global broadcast mechanism.  While an eventual goal of usenet
is to include all or most uucp net sites, note that the usenet
map is a subgraph of the uucp net - there are a few hundred uucp
net sites, most of which are inside Bell Laboratories and do not
run netnews.  Here is a sample list of the sites one Bell Labs
site knows:

	Subject: Re:  usenet map
	
	So the problem is that there are one way connections that look like
	two way connections on the map?  I didn't plan to indicate this on
	the map, since it shouldn't really matter to the user.  Also, it's
	hard enough to draw this stuff without putting arrows in it.
	
	So how is sdcatta connected in?
	
		Mark

Yes, I wasn't really expecting you to make it an exact representation;
I expect that that would be very time consuming (if it is possible).
And, as you say it shouldn't really matter, if anybody uses that map to
send mail it should get through, arrows or no.

This is pretty much what it looks like down here, the !'s show a uucp
connection and the :'s show a berknet connection. sdcarl and sdcsvax
pretty much poll everyone else. csl and arthur don't recieve netnews,
aaron only recieves info-micro, info-terms, apollo, and info-cpm (micro-
computer related stuff), but currently isn't recieving any at all
because their big disk that was on loan to them was taken back (don't
ask, it is too confusing). csl is down for a head crash (they schedule
them about once a month [if not more often]). csl, sdcarl, and sdcsvax
are the only machines that have dialers, csl doesn't do any polling.
sdcatt[ab] get their netnews via uucp from sdcsvax or sdcarl.

In response to your message of Fri May 29 19:01:47 1981:

Since our mailer prints out stuff as it delivers mail, I put a wait in
sendanews so that it doesn't go back to the shell until the message is
delivered.  However, something else isn't waiting for sendanews, so this
didn't work, and I decided to forget it.

New Sites:     As we don't have dial in facilities now, it will
          be necessary for us to dial anyone wishing to talk
          to us. We are willing to call anyone who sounds
          interesting or interested, as long as it doesn't
          get out of hand. Contact me here and we'll work
          something out.




                        May 28, 1981





                           - 2 -


          When DEC finally delivers our 34, it should run UNIX
          almost full time, and we will have dial in and out
          facilities. At that time we would be willing to let
          almost anyone call us, I think.

About 10 people read net news on the system. This will probably grow
as we get more users (that number is about 70% of the regular users.)

We currently have direct connections to duke and purdue.

                        May 28, 1981

     This is to announce the presence of cincy on  the  net.
We  are the University of Cincinnati Electrical and Computer
Engineering Department.  Current research interests are sig-
nal  processing  (specifically  residue arithmetic filters),
pattern recognition and picture  processing,  communications
networks,  solid  state fabrication technologies, CAD, VLSI,
computer  architecture,  logic  design,....   (we're   quite
diversified).  Current  facilities  are a PDP-11/60 which is
shared between running RSX, UNIX, and SOLO. We  run  a  very
hacked  V6,  soon  to be converted to V7.  We are getting an
11/34 as soon as DEC delivers it, which  should  run  mainly
UNIX.  Cincy  will be moved to that machine then.  It should
have better phone equipment.  We also foray into the biomed-
ical  engineering  world, having recently done work in aneu-
rysm detection.  Our configuration is not  too  stable,  and
should expand a whole bunch if we get some money.

     We are interested in communicating with people of simi-
lar interests, or folks who just want to chat about UNIX. We
have lots of old (IBM 1130?) and  small  (AIM-65)  equipment
that  is  begging  to  have support software written for it.
Our SS fab lab is excellent, but their support tools consist
of a card-based system on the 1130 that drives an aging Cal-
Comp plotter. I am personally working  to  change  that.   I
envision  a  CIF based system with graphical front end (home
written).  It should be operational by the  end  of  summer,
based on U of Toronto's GPAC. I would be interested in hear-
ing from people doing this kind of work.

     We are also interested in RJE to Amdahl  systems.  Any-
body  out  there  doing  this (preferably cheaply?) There is
talk going around about a  homebrew  Ethernet-like  network,
too, but no action yet.


     We currently connect to purdue and duke.  We have  only
dial  out  equipment,  so  we would have to call you, if you
sound interesting (the decision of the judges is final).

				via Nat'l Center for Atmospheric Research
				(NCAR)'s High Altitude Observatory (HAO)
				PWB site here in Boulder; they are the
				only formal "neighbor" so far; there are
				about a half dozen others that we may get
				into usenet fairly soon; we have a BUG--
				Boulder Unix Group that is growing fairly
				fast but few wizards about, so we have to
				do these things slowly; re: forwarding
				to other sites; yes we would be willing
				to do local calls once we get them up on uucp

Willingness (or lack thereof) to connect to new sites that
want to join usenet.  If you run uucp, tell if new sites can
call you, if you will poll them, what your policy is.
				Re: willingness; see above; re: policy;
				no formal policy yet, but we would probably
				want to do any forwarding overnight, especially
				if we become a nexus for more than 4-5 sites
				locally(I could be overridden on this "policy"
				but I doubt that I will be); If they would
				call us that would be that much better, but
				as yet, we have not raised the issue; we have
				only had uucp-usenet-netnews working for about
				a month, so wanted to make sure we had it solid
				before expanding.
If on the arpanet, are you willing to forward news on to new
sites by establishing an arpanet usenet connection?

				No direct ARPA access, though in the not
				too distant future our Computer Science Dept.
				is supposed to become a sub-host from the
				NBS(Nat'l Bureau of Stds) site here in Boulder.
				but they are extremely un-unixed at this point,
				ie, a lack of "true believers" who know what
				they are doing; they got off to a rough start
				by finding some bugs in the f77 compiler, so the				anti-unix forces in CS have gotten them to
				run VMS part-time and unix part-time; ugh!;
				Feldman was out here and after being shown the
				apparently real bugs reportedly is doing his
				rewrite; they already have the bell-vax dist,
				and have gotten also the ucb vax distribution,
				but at last report are awaiting the new f77
				to go whole hog to unix; we'll see how it goes.
If you want to publish your uucp phone number, login, and password,
include that info.
				I hate to sound dumb, but I'm a little vague
				on the protocols, etc. for uucp, since we were
				handed a package to install by USGS, without
				knowing what-all was going on; if this question
				refers to our normal dial-in number, that's
				303-492-5431, but wouldn't a would be dialer
				have to have a uucp account here?  as for the
				login and password, isn't that a function of
				the uucp account(s) that we might have elsewhere
				or am i really confused?
				In general, I would prefer to only have one
				path for all the incoming news, since I can
				see (and have already seen a few cases) where
				we could wind up getting the same stuff more
				than once if multi-paths existed; i understand
				that work is underway to try to avoid this, but
				a small number of paths seems surest to me; ??

Pur-ee on Usenet
** 'Pur-ee' has joined the Usenet NewsNet. **

This is 'pur-ee', reachable via several routes, currently on the Usenet
news network by way of 'duke!cincy!pur-ee'.  Our system is operated by
the Purdue Electrical Engineering Department, George Goble manager of
the system, at West Lafayette, Indiana.

This machine is a Vax 11/780 with 8 Mb of memory, three 300 Mb CDC disk
drives, one 6250 BPI mag tape drive, and other peripherals.  We have 6
Able DMAX's connected to our system at the present time providing 96
terminals, and support 30+ other ``pseudo'' terminals which come in
over a network implemented using Dec DMC's to 2 PDP11/70s, 4 PDP11/45s,
and one other Vax. We are running Berkeleys 4.1 BSD in production as
modified by ourselves where necessary.  Our system typically supports
50 to 60 users doing largely instructional programing although 70 or
more users have often been logged in at the same time.  Our main
headaches come from having nearly 3000 online accounts at the present
time.  Within a few weeks our second VAX 11/780 will begin operation.

We have one auto-dialer which currently only operates using Vadic 3400
operation, and daily call ucbvax, teklabs, and call other sites as
necesary.  We have a hardwired link to the Computer Science Department
Vax 11/780 system as well. Our dial-in hardware currently supports both
Vadic 3400 and Bell 103 operation.

Other UNIX sites at Purdue (some of which will be joining the net soon)
include the CS Dept Vax 11/780 and the Physics Dept 11/44.  The CS Dept
is known as ``purdue'' and the Physics Dept is known as ``pur-phy''.

Several contacts here include myself, Art Feather (aef), George Goble
(ghg), and Peter Miller (pete).  We can be contacted via:

UNIX mail: teklabs!pur-ee!

Thanks for the usenet connection info.  We will probably stick with our
one connection for now.  However, if others want to poll us to get
news, we will probably have no problem with that.  We pay for all phone
calls outgoing (long distance) out of strict departmental funds, and
repayment from others would cause a real beaurocratic paper shuffle
that probably wouldn't be worth any amount of hastle.  We would prefer
prior agreement, however on any uucp type connection.

Here is the form you asked for; with this and the notification I sent
out earlier, you should have a good deal of information on us now!!

Art Feather, aef at pur-ee, mentioned to me that since pur-phy is
a new member of Usenet you might be interested in the following
information for the Usenet directory.

Name of site: pur-phy
What the site is all about: Pur-phy is a PDP-11/44 operated by the
	Physics department at Purdue University.  The system supports
	faculty and graduate student research.

Phone number of contact person: None right now (our modem is on my office
				phone line!)
How the site is connected into usenet: via a dialup uucp link with pur-ee

We do run uucp and are willing to be polled by other sites that wish
to join Usenet.  Unfortunately, the telephone system at Purdue is currently
in a state of flux (GTE is finally moving away from electro-mechanical
relays), and telephone numbers are soon to be changed.  It would
probably not be wise to publish our uucp number.  We soon hope to have an
acu, so we would also consider polling other sites.

The name is duke!reed.
Contact ross, valer or cag.  Those names go with:
	Graham Ross, interested alumnus.
	Jim Valerio, interested student.
	Charlie Green, Director, Academic Cumputing, (503)-771-1112x329

Reed is a small, coed liberal arts college in Portland, OR.
We have an 11/70 running V7 Unix (with modifications to the
RP06 driver and with power-fail recovery capability).  There
are two DH11s, an RP06, 500 Kbyte of core, a TU16, an LP11,
two RX01s (our users use mountable floppies for portable
storage) and an optically-isolated high-speed terminal net-
work going out to the science departments.  We have licenses
for V6, PWB V1, and V7 Unix.

	Our /etc/passwd has 803 lines in it, but we seldom find
more than 20 people logged in at once.  The user community
breaks down into four groups:
	1) Students and Faculty whose uses are tied directly
	   to the college's curricula;
	2) Students who use nroff to format papers and theses;
	3) Students who write and/or play games; and
	4) Students and alumni who maintain the system and use it as
	   it as a playground in OS tweaking and language development.
Out of 800 users, only a few subscribe to network news.  Here's
the demography:
	12 subscribe to NET.ALL
	3 subscribe only to NET.sf-lovers
	1 subscribes only to NET.general
	3 subscribe to NET.ALL, excluding sf-lovers and human-nets.
NET.ALL isn't much, because our .sys file only allows NET.general,
NET.v7vbugs, and NET.news.  (So, we're defrauding some of our
users -- so what?)

I think we are happy with just one connection (through Duke),
though it might make more sense to keep West Coast mail on the
West Coast.

Our .sys file has reed and duke, that's all.

When you finish your map, give us a copy.  It sounds like fun.

Connection policy:
	If someone wants to call us or it is a local phone call for us to 
call them, we can probably work something out to provide a uucp/netnews 
connection.  We have 300/1200 dialup capability and 300 baud dialout.
Please refer people interested, directly to Phil Cohen.

Let me clarify our long distance calling policy.  Our system is set up
to call three longdistance sites, ucbvax, ucscvax, and ucsfcgl.  No
calls are made to these sites during normal business hours, we only
call them between midnight and 8 a.m. during the week.  On weekends, we
will place calls to them on demand.

	I anticipate adding one or two more local systems in the near
futrue.  At that time, I will mail you the additional information.

Netnews users:  2, but growing rapidly
Site's Purpose:
	"qmlab" stands for "Quantitative Morphology Lab".
	We do computer graphics work on an
	Evans and Sutherland Picture System II, mostly
	constructing images of neural structures
	(cf. our film, "The Human Brain", 1976).
	Our principal investigator is Dr. Robert B.
	Livingston.  We're a PDP 11/34 with a V7
	license running V6 for mostly historical
	(hysterical?) reasons.
Calling out:  no autodialer yet.
Being polled:  we are willing to be polled; currently
	we get everything from sdcsvax.  Systems wishing
	to poll us frequently (or even occasionally)
	should please contact me.
UUCP login: uucp
UUCP password: whatnot
Dial-in: (714) 452-4072  [300 baud]
Names in .sys: sdcsvax, sdcarl

Here is the info:

(1) site name is 'sii'
(2) which is Software Innovations, Inc. We primarily provide language
	processors for people migrating to Unix; if someone has 10,000
	programs written in whatsit 68, and doesn't feel like rewriting
	them, we give them a whatsit 68 compiler running under Unix.
	We are running three Onyx systems, going on eight.
(3) contact:
	Bill Ezell	(603) 883-9300	duke!sii!wje
(4) Anyone may call at any time. We are using a Vadic triple modem and
	cycle 1200-300. Our auto-dial modem hasn't come in yet, so any
	transmissions originated by us are a pain.
(5) login: uucp

As per your request, here is the information about our site that you
asked for.  We haven't made any mention of our existence before because
we were in th process of establishing reliable (as opposed to haphazard)
connection to the net; there should be some NET.general news out very soon
from us.

System name:	sytek

Relative Path:	duke!decvax!sytek, decvax!sytek, ucbvax!menlo70!sytek
		(i.e. we poll menlo70 and decvax, and decvax calls us on demand)

Uucp contact:	samuel j. leffler
		sam	(user name)
		(408) 734-9000

#users	
in .uindex:	20

Site activity:	Commerical firm.  Sytek does consulting work in networking,
		operating sytem design, verification and security analysis, etc.
		Sytek also markets LocalNet, a broadband based local area
		network.

Dialing:	(1) We're willing to call local hosts
		(2) We're willing to allow people to call us*
		(3) We're not interested in maintaining phone accounts,
		    so arranging call exchange is probably not possible.

Uucp entry:	* we keep separate logins for each host that uucp's to us,
		  so that we may keep track of each site that calls us; hence
		  those who wish to call must first contact me

Sites in .sys:	decvax, menlo70

FYI: At present we are working from an 11/45 with a single 300 baud ACU.
     Hopefully, in less than two weeks we should be up on a VAX-11/750
     running VM/UNIX with 4 300 baud ACU's.  At this time we should be
     able to handle a great deal of traffic and might be interested in
     supporting a few passive sites local to us.  Also, at that time we
     will also have MMDF running and have ARAP-net access.

**************  Teklabs Joins the NewsNet ********************

Teklabs has now joined the NewsNet. It can be reached currently
at 'duke!chico!teklabs', and soon from other sites.

Teklabs is Tektronix, Inc.'s research arm, which pursues research
projects in a wide variety of areas in computer science and
electronics, as well as in other areas.

Teklabs is located in Beaverton, OR, outside of Portland. We have
a PDP 11/70 with 2 Mb of main memory, three RP06-class disk drives,
and a wide variety of special peripherals, including a Versatec
printer/plotter. The machine supports a user community of about
250 engineers and support personnel involved primarily in research.

Although we will be installing auto-diallers soon, we are not
willing to poll random hosts (at this point). Hosts which would
have a specific purpose in being connected to our machine should
speak to the system manager, Clem Cole.

and are in the process of obtaining an autodialer to replace/preempt
a reed relay system.

We are willing to connect to new sites if they are willing to call us.
If they do not have calling equipment and are local to the Champaign-Urbana
area, we would be willing to poll them at no cost as long as the
traffic level is reasonable.

We do not currently have a link onto the apranet. 
Sites that wish to poll us should send us mail in order to obtain

Subject: unc on the uucp network
Cc: mp tas
Status: R

You may be getting several replies from unc on your network request,
because we have not really centralized control of the network.

unc is the Computer Science Department of the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill.  We are running UNIX on two VAX's and a
PDP-11/45.  The only external network connection is via the VAX
named "unc", but the other two machines also use uucp to talk to
one another.  The other VAX is "grumpy" and the 11/45 is "pdp".
We are accessible directly from duke, which we poll hourly.

People "in charge" are:
Lynn TenEyck, "lynn", (919) 933-1380, facilities manager
Tim Seaver, "tas", (919) 933-5698, grad student who actually does all
	of the work keeping us running
Mike Pique, "mp", (919) 933-5698, who does just about everything tas
	doesn't do

We have 26 users subscribing to NET news items.

unc is for general department educational use and research.  grumpy
is used for research in high performance graphics.  pdp is used for
some production graphics use and as a link to the main campus number
crunchers (if we ever get the UNIX device driver for the DX-11 running!).

We are willing to do some limited calling of other systems, negotiated
on a per case basis.  We prefer that people call us via duke, so we
don't have a long list of sites to notify if we make uucp changes.
Also, our communications equipment is limited and our phone budget
not terribly large.

If you don't have our uucp login information, you can have it on request
but it is not general information.

Systems we can call directly:
duke, phs (Duke University Dept. Physiology), wolfvax (North Carolina
State University Dept. of EE), ucsfcgl, alice, and of course ucbvax.
The only sites we normally call are duke, phs, and wolfvax; we route all of
our network traffic through duke.

From decvax!duke!utzoo!henry  Sat May 23 21:40:10 1981

This is to announce the presence on Usenet of duke!utzoo, the U of Toronto
zoology department.  We are the only U of T site on the net at the moment,
and will forward things (within reason) to local non-net sites like the
Computer Systems Research Group.

Although this is the largest zoology school in the western hemisphere,
the computer-systems operation is not very large, mostly because it
is a fairly recent acquisition.  We have an 11/44 with a 300-meg disk,
a bunch of (sigh) DZ11's, and several smaller cpus.  We run V7+PWB plus
assorted other software from various places.  We do text processing,
data acquisition (using two satellite 11/05's), some research in areas
like database systems, and a bunch of miscellaneous odds and ends.

We're interested in better text-handling software (especially formatters),
data acquisition and analysis tools, distributed processing a la Ethernet,
general Unix improvement and enhancement, and VAXes.

Contact for net matters (and almost anything else) is Henry Spencer,
duke!utzoo!henry (preferred), (416)978-6060 (if you must).

At present, we connect only to Duke.  We have no autodialer (yet) and
hence are unwilling to call other people;  we are TENTATIVELY willing
to let other people call us, and several local Unix sites have expressed
interest in doing so.  Details not yet figured out.
