What the site is all about:
We are Computer Corporation of America, and we specialize in
producing commercial and custom database systems. The
cca machine is used by both our Sponsored Research
Division and our Advanced Development Division. The csin
machine is a dedicated machine used by the Advanced
Development System to run the Chemical Substances Information
Network, which interfaces to many chemical databases throughout
the country.

How the site is connected into usenet (what kind of link,
who the neighbor(s) are):
The cca machine gets news from Berkeley over the Arpanet and
passes it on to csin via a hardwired uucp link.
Both sites are connected to decvax, although currently only
csin has a dialer.
Willingness (or lack thereof) to connect to new sites that
want to join usenet. If you run uucp, tell if new sites can
call you, if you will poll them, what your policy is.
We are open to having a limited number of sites poll cca for news
in the middle of the night.
If on the arpanet, are you willing to forward news on to new
sites by establishing an arpanet usenet connection?
We are connected to the Arpanet only by a (heavily used) 9600
baud line, and we don't have the capacity to do this.
If you want to publish your uucp phone number, login, and password,
include that info.
We would prefer to do this on an individual basis.
