	I wholeheartily second this!  I've used ftp-request on occasion,
but the turnaround time isn't as good as what would be possible if uunet
were to run the type of software that Princeton is using.  This would
be a great service to uunet Customers[*], and would free up their staff
(hi Lorelei!) a bit for other things.

[*] heck, they'd be making money off of it, can't think of reason why they
would not want to do this.
