This might be a bit to technical for this group, but I've always wanted
to know.  I know that uucp transported news can be handled over dial-up
modems (I even wrote a BASIC language uucp clone) but I don't know how
those high speed direct connect internet links work.

I've just heard from a guy looking to hook his VMS system into the net.
He mentioned a software package from Carnegie/Mellen that interfaced
VMS to TCP/IP?  He wanted to know what else he needed to get news to
his VMS machine, like a modem? a direct connect line?  I didn't know
what to tell him.

thanks.
