I could rent one at a colocation facility. But I live in Silicon Valley, and I can't even get a connection faster than an ISDN line; I'm 2000 feet "too far away" for DSL. As to your "I know" statement, this is being sent over a 28k modem connection -- hardly what you'd use to host a UUCP project and FTP archive. If I did rent one, I'd have a far better use for it than hosting a project to pick up software evicted from various projects source trees. > Congratulations, you once did some useful work 6 years ago.

I guess if you paid as much attention to the mailing lists as you do to deleting from the base system software you don't personally find useful, you'd know that. I have code in Linux, as well (I guess that's politically incorrect to admit). I notice you still haven't provided a real rationale for the UUCP eviction, and are turning the converation to other topics... -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
