- At the time the Crosspoint Beta was developed, such uucicos were still the
- norm (that's why it has uucp-z), though I'm too young for experience
- with 64,3. My first login for the first Beta was a HDB with 128,7, running
- on an old BSD university system.
-
- But two months later, my newsfeed already had a Taylor Beta.

-
- Maybe 64,7 happens at places where people don't pay for their phonebills.
- But no private distribution site, no network provider I know of is able of
- less than 1024,7.
