Anonymous Access to UUNET's Source Archives

             1-900-GOT-SRCS

   UUNET now provides access to its extensive collection of UNIX
related sources to non-subscribers. By calling 1-900-468-7727 and
using the login "uucp" with no password, anyone may uucp any of UUNET's
on line source collection.  Callers will be charged 50 cents per
minute.  The charges will appear on their next telephone bill. Due to
Sprint policy UUNET can charge you for only 30 minutes per call. UUNET
cannot allow sites to transfer any more files on this connection after
30 minutes have elapsed.  The 900 number is for US domestic use
only.  International callers are not able to access this service.
There are also some areas of the United States which block the use of
900 numbers. The service will not be available in those areas.

   The file uunet!~/info/archive-help contains instructions. 
The file uunet!~/ls-lR.Z contains a complete list of the files
available and is updated daily. Files ending in Z need to be
uncompressed before being used. The file uunet!~/compress.tar is
a tar archive containing the C sources for the uncompress program.

   This service provides a cost effective way of obtaining
current releases of sources without having to maintain accounts
with UUNET or some other service. All modems connected to the
900 number are Telebit T2500 modems. These modems support all
standard modem speeds including PEP, V.32 (9600), V.22bis (2400),
Bell 212a (1200), and Bell 103 (300). Using PEP or V.32, a 2.9
megabyte file such as the GNU C compiler would cost $20 in con-
nect charges.  The entire 40 megabyte X Window system V11 R5
would cost only $267 in connect time. These costs are less than
the official tape distribution fees and they are available now
via modem.
