There is another aspect to the issue.  The bank I work for can
certainly afford to pay for a tcp/ip link.  However, for security
(read paranoid) reasons, management will never go for it.  Hell, it
took us months to convince management to allow us to have a uucp based
mail/news feed from Uunet.

Now, since we *PAY* for connection to uunet, and we *DONT* go thru
anyone else's system, there would be no harm for us calling upon the
services of an MBAS.  Without one, we are restricted to what we can
get directly from uunet, which is (naturally) far from having a
complete archive.  Would be nice if uunet implemented an MBAS like
thing for its customers...
