There are actually two such groups (or mailing lists with links to the
USENET).  The general X.400 newsgroup is comp.protocols.iso.x400.  There
are two separate entry points into the mailing lists, which are:

	mhsnews@vax.runit.unit.uninett

which is located in Norway and serves Europe and a few other locations
and:

	mhsnews@tis.llnl.gov

which is located outside of San Francisco and serves North America and
a few other locations as well.   PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TWO MHSNEWS LISTS
ARE LINKED TO EACH OTHER, AND MESSAGES THAT ARE SENT TO BOTH LIST ENTRY
POINTS WILL RESULT IN TWO COPIES OF THE MESSAGE BEING DELIVERED TO EVERY
LIST SUBSCRIBER.   In other words, if you send a message to one of the
lists, please don't bother sending a copy to the other entry point.

The other newsgroup is comp.protocols.iso.x400.gateway which discusses
X.400 gateway issues.  The mailing list for this newsgroup is:

	ifip-gtwy@tis.llnl.gov

Both newsgroups are gatewayed to the USENET at Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory and are sent out with an 'inet' distribution, which means that
some sites will probably not receive the newsgroups.

If you are interested in subscribing instead to either of the lists, just
drop a note off to the appropriate -request address.
