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.
If on the arpanet, are you willing to forward news on to new
sites by establishing an arpanet usenet connection?
We are willing to connect
new sites, we run uucp,
new sites can call us. Nope
we are not on arpanet.
If you want to publish your uucp phone number, login, and password,
include that info.

Surely you mean 11/780, don't you? Or is this simply yet another a
manefestation of the big-endian/little-endian problem? :-)

As the SA of phri, I can tell you that mail to "phri!raanan" will just get
bounced as "recipient unknown". Try "phri!bc-cis!raanan".

> Subject: new site
Does 2.11 require the posting to net.news.newsite (or news.newsite?)
to give more meaningful headings? As far as I'm concerned, the
words 'new' and 'site' should not appear in the subject headings
for this news group. Instead, the subject should be:
Subject: anuddavax: Acme Manufacturing, Ozone, CA
to indicate whether it's worth reading.

noone else has it written yet). That would ask for the information about
a particular site and put it into a standard format for posting to
net.news.newsite and net.news.config.
This program would be used during the installation procedure and also
when a site changed there configuration. It could send mail to the
network map coordinator, post an article to either net.news.newsite or
net.news.config (whichever is appropriate), and it could set up a local
configuration file for machines that are not known to the outside world.
There are many advantages to such a program. First, it would put
the postings in a standard format that could be automatically
processed, i.e. when a newsite or a configuration posting comes in it
could automatically change the appropriate map files. Second, it would
put the postings in a more usable form as suggested by Joel. Third, it
would save time for the person setting up news.
Following is a sample session of the proposed program. If you
have any ideas please mail them to me and I will post a summary of them
and possibly a modified sample session. In the following session questions
the computers asks are prefacted by "Computer:", answers the user gives are
prefixed by "User:", and comments and ideas of mine are prefixed by "Remark:".
Computer: Is this a new installation?
Remark: It might be able to figure this out itself. By checking to see if
a file is there that it creates when in runs.
User: yes
Computer: What is the name of your site?
Remark: This may be figured out the same way sitename is figured out by
the rest of the news software.
User: abcdefghijkvax
Computer: Many sites may not be able to send mail to because it is longer then
6 characters long, would you like to change it?
User: yes
Computer: What is the name of your site?
User: gatech
Computer: That site name already exists. Please enter another name.
Remark: To come up with an answer like this the user would have to have
the pathalias database online.
User: gtech
Computer: What are the make and model of your computer?
User: PDP 11/17
Computer: What operating system does it run?
User: MVS/XA
Computer: What is the name of your organization?
User: Psychotic State, Psychiatry Department
Computer: Who is the USENET administrator?
User: Joe Cool
Computer: What is the system administrators email address?
User: gtech!joecool
Computer: What is the system administrators phone number?
User: (012) 345-6789
Computer: What is the system administrators mailing address?
User: 1234 Main St, Little Town, BS 00000
Computer: At what latitude and longitude is your organization located?
User: 01 23 45 N / 60 12 34 W
Computer: Is there anything special that people should know about your site?
User: no
Computer: Whats sites do you exchange news with?
User: abcvax, defvax, ghiprm
Remark: the computer might check the pathalias database to see if it knows
about these.
Computer: What is the name of a site you exhanged mail with?
User: abcvax
Remark: The computer could check the pathalais database to see if this site
is known.
Computer: How frequently?
User: DAILY
Computer: Do you exchange mail with any other sites?
User: No
Computer: Segmentation Fault(core dumped)
User: Huh?
The results of this would be a newsite entry that looks like this
#N gtech
#S PDP 11/17, MVS/XA
#O Psychotic State, Psychiatry Department
#C Joe Cool
#E gtech!joecool
#T (012) 345-6789
#P 1234 Main t, Little Town, BS 00000
#L 01 23 45 N / 60 12 34 W
#U abcvax, defvax, ghiprm
#R
#
gtech abcvax(DAILY)
This would then be posted to net.news.newsite and mailed to the
appropriate network map coordinator.
