A very well-known conneciton to n8emr is Ohio State University:
cis.ohio-state.edu. It is one of the most trafficked news and mail
sites in the country. If you can't find it, you got a bigger problem
than just reaching Big Sky.

so if you bang it like this:

...cis.ohio-state.edu!n8emr!bluemoon!bsbbs!user,

that should work. Long sucker, though. What you should also do is
complain loudly to the postmaster of any site that is not supporting
the uucp maps.

P.S. I also have an account on Big Sky, plus my own node, waltham, one
hop off the internet (Sorry, Richard, I'd like somone to MX forward
for *me*), connected to Ohio State. I've never had anybody yet who
couldn't reach cis.ohio-state.edu, from anywhere.
