For example, a few sites inter- connected via the ARPANet could greatly reduce this expense. Our site currently uses TCP/IP for incoming and outgoing news using the DOD Internet as the medium. A few well placed hosts homed to both the Internet and USENET could go a long way in reducing some of the major long distance tolls between backbone sites. -- Glenn Adams MIT Lincoln Laboratory ARPA: glenn@LL-XN.ARPA CSNET: glenn%ll-xn.arpa@csnet-relay UUCP: ...!seismo!ll-xn!glenn ...!ihnp4!houem!ll-xn!glenn
