Fine, but my use really fits better under the administrative heading
than the random user heading, in the long term.  Also, I am willing
to do whatever I can to help with the general adminstration setup.

The long term plan is to do exactly that.  However, we have to do it
with subnets; we aren't going to be able to get all the AT&T networks
into the ARPA tables, so we have to present them with a single network
face.  This means migration to our class A network number.  From what I
can gather, this will take considerable time.  It's going to require smb's
DKIP running under 4.3BSD, for example.

Also, my long term need for administrative access doesn't go away.  I'm
thinking primarily of the mail gateway and nameserver function.  If that
will be done on ulysses instead of mhuxc, and mhuxc is nothing but a
packet forwarder, then what I'll really want access to is ulysses.
