Well, it is time you heard from me. 

attcan is indeed on-line now and is Trailblazing with uunet and utzoo. lsuc
is still 1200. Everything seems to be stable. I will be willing to take on
new feeds (Trailblazers ONLY) around mid June. This delay is due to
equipment arrival dates for my new computer room. When done attcan will
have:
	16 2400 baud AT&T 4024 modems. 10 on one hunt group, 6 direct dial.
	2 Telebit Trailblazer Plus modems on direct dial numbers.
	over 2 Gigabytes of storage (6 X 300, 8 X 147 Meg).

Extras include:

	9.6 dedicated service to Montreal and Ottawa - multiplexed into
	    32 9600 baud virtual circuits each.

I will be looking into propagating netnews to those cities later this
summer. No promises right now.

'Til later,
