If it's not a requirement that the program's output be useless, you
could contribute to the network factoring effort.  Send email to
fac...@src.dec.com, containing a path line of the form

path# y...@yourhost.yourdomain

or

path# host1!...!hostn!you

and the line

program#

and you will receive programs and information, I am told.
