Summary: hmm...

Hmm. Thanks, Don. I didn't even suggest anyone try doing
a UUCP map, because (1) pathalias can give routings and (2)
the map would be so complex. Your attempt is nice, but is
(just for example) missing lsuc's connections to parkridge,
hcr, nrcaer, toram, maccs and sickkids, all of which have been
in u.can.on.1 for a while. (We also have connections to sq, tmsoft
and clunk, but those are relatively new, plus mkv020 which isn't on
your map, and a few out of town sites.)

I think a UUCP map of Toronto is probably not doable in two dimensions.

The Usenet map would be simpler. Read the #U line for each site
from u.can.on.1, and that tells you who it exchanges newsgroups with
(not necessarily all netnews, but at least some). I would think sites
that exchange only "tor,ont" or whatever wouldn't list each other
as #U (I only list, for lsuc, sites with which we have a significant feed).
