UUPSI is not a public access Unix site.  They are a network/mail/news services
provider (sorta like UUNET :^).


I'd like to add a couple other well-known sites.  They're not local, but
they both have excellent CPU and connectivity.  Both are on the Internet
and are reachable by Compuserve access numbers (there are several numbers
local to DC).  For those already on the Internet, they're an excellent
"private" account for use when your work account wouldn't be "appropriate".
