The UUNET project has been in service for a week providing news
and mail service to 34 sites. Well over 100 sites have requested
subscription information and the responses so far have
been very enthusiastic.
Overall, performance has been very good. Most sites are averaging
about 1000 bps throughput on a 1200 bps modem and 1950 bps on a
2400 bps modem. The long delays observed with services like
PC Pursuit have not been experienced.
The machine availability has been 100% (i.e. no down time yet...).
Source archive access should be available soon. We expect to provide
an archive server similar to the others currently in use.
The biggest problem encountered so far was determining that certain
older uucps terminate the strings that they send to log in with a
\n instead of a \r (This is a bug. It is fixed in 4.2/4.3 BSD and Honey
DanBer at least). This \n confused the login program and 3 sites
could not get logged in. Changing their L.sys entries to an explicit \r\c
solved that problem.
Following is a current uucp map entry for the uunet machine.
