Well, I finally found a site willing to feed the VMSnet groups. So far
the only groups I know of are:

vmsnet.admin
vmsnet.announce
vmsnet.announce.newusers
vmsnet.misc
vmsnet.test

but I will get a complete list soon. I am also told that the creator of
the new hierarchy, Terry Poot, will soon be sending a vmsnet checkgroups
message.  So far I've been "addgroup"ing this stuff based on what shows up
in my junk directory.

Traffic so far has been light, mainly sites introducing themselves.
By design, nothing will be moderated.

I'd rather not start new feeds, but anyone who already has a news link to
telly is welcome to get VMSnet on request. I'm hoping enough will ask
to make it easily available to sites which don't connect here directly.
