In the interest of avoiding confusion, and in light of recent
controversy (re: vortex?), I thought I would ask
this.  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.
