Introducing the UUCP/Usenet Project

[Camiel Vanderhoeven]

Hi Warren,

What would the requirements for the system be? How often would it need to
be online? I¹m working on getting an OS for it, but if I succeed I might
be able to get my Convex C1 up and running in a few weeks, and wouldn¹t it
be nice to have that participate?
