[TUHS] UUNET

[Clem Cole via TUHS]

I’ll try to offer a better answer when I’m near my computer, but the short
answer is not at all.  It was planned that way.  I’ll have to peak at what
Wikipedia says and see what they have reported. But as a USENIX BOD member,
the hope was that it would be “self sufficient.”  We couldn’t have been
more pleased to see it work out.

As it says on my shirt and silver watch:  “President Emeritus USENIX” 😉
