  Currently I run a FidoNET BBS and have links into USENET areas.  It requires
  an addition to mailer.  I myself run Binkley Terminal 2.20 which will allow
  my UUCP to send a string "@UUCP@" where upon binkley calls up the uucico.
  The package I use for the conversions is called UFGATE.ARC.  This package
  can be gotten via ftp from SIMTEL20.ARPA.  I will not guarantee you that it
  with the TBBS message format.  As to getting a link you will have to speak
  with those in your area...  Remember usenet feeds are just a privilage!
