A sister division of our's, Raytheon Data Systems in Norwood, Mass, is soon going to be tying into Usenet. The main site is to be a System 5 VAX11/780 called "snowhite" (sic), accompanied by 10 Convergent Technologies MegaFrames, named after the 7 dwarves, with "larry", "moe" and "curly" added in. (These are the same people that 6 months ago had PDP11/70's tied in called "hawkeye", "trapper", "klinger", and a PDP11/34 called "radar". Don't look at me, it's not my idea....) While I'm at it, there are 2 other divisions with more conservative sounding (and less creative?) site names, like our's, that are in differing stages of hooking into Usenet. Raytheon Missile Systems Division in Bedford, Ma. - raybed2, and Raytheon Equipment Division in Sudbury, Ma. - raysud2. Anyway, I checked in the monthly map data and found nothing, but there are quite a few undocumented UUCP sites out there. -- Ralph Shaw, {allegra, decvax!brunix, ccieng5}!rayssd!ras Raytheon Co, Submarine Signal Div., Portsmouth, RI
