Name of site:
	ur-cvsvax

What the site is all about:
	Center for Visual Science, Univ. of Rochester.
	Offers graduate and under-graduate courses in
	visual physiology and perception leading to
	joint degrees with other departments at U of R.
	All the faculty and staff and most of the students
	associated with the Center have accounts. Work load
	consists of word processing, statistical/graphics
	processing and analysis of data collected from
	laboratory computers(mostly running RT-11). Several
	courses will be using a local USENET newsgroup.
	Ur-cvsvax consists of a VAX/750(5 Mb), 1 RA81, 1 RA60, 1 TU80,
	1 RX02, 32 line Emulex Statcon-11, 1 DZ-11 and several modems.
	Running 4.2bsd. Using S and BMDP.

*A 'switch line' here means a hard-wired line mediated by a Develcon switching
computer.  It's mainly used to connect stand-alone terminals to a campus-wide
network of computers including VAXen, DEC-2060's, IBM 30xx's and 40xx's.

We've only been running UUCP for 4 months now, so our polling policy
is not well established. Right now we're happy to be part of a local
network whose central node connects to the outside world. We do have
auto-dial modems, so establishing, say, a weekly connection by phone
is not out of the question.
We are not the ARPANET.
