Shortly I will have three fast servers on a 100Mbit link colocated at Verio in
LA. Two of the servers are personal. As I mentioned before, I'd be happy to
host the list and archives.

BTW, I used to be pretty up on HPUX, although it's been a couple years since I
abandoned my workstation and servers at AOL. For the clock rate, HP PA-Risc
servers rocked.
