This is an absolutely wonderful idea.

I would very much like to get one of my 3B2s up and running on this new
UUCP network. I still have a mostly fallow land line that I can use.
When I have some time in the next week or two, I'll try to get things
ready under SVR3 UNIX.

Great machines.  I used to have two of them at home but they died over a decade ago.
Somewhere arounf  here I still have my xerox of the WE3200 architecture manual.  I
loved that CPU.
