            UUNET is a non-profit organization whose charter is to  pro-
            vide  electronic  mail  connectivity  among  its subscribing
            sites. UUNET provides  fast,  reliable,  mail  service  both
            domestically and internationally. UUNET charges connect fees
            on a cost recovery basis.

            UUNET acts as an internet mail relay for its 1,000 subscrib-
            ing  sites.   UUNET provides a proxy ftp service and archive
            service which allows non-internet sites to obtain files that
            are available by anonymous ftp. Currently, UUNET may only be
            accessed via TCP/IP or the UNIX UUCP protocols.

            UUNET IS NOT A GENERAL UUCP/INTERNET GATEWAY (despite common
            delusions).

            UUNET is on the Internet and UUCP networks.

            Access  is  restricted  to  UUNET  subscribers   and   their
            correspondants.   While  third party access is not currently
            blocked, it is discouraged and software to prevent  it  will
            be installed in the future.
