I too would like to start a single-user mail/news sight in the Boston area.
I have both UUPC and Waffle software, and am now looking for a public-access
system to receive a feed from.  My system here does not get pubnet, so could
someone mail me the list of sights in Boston?  Also, how do I go about 
establishing a feed?  Do I mail them and ask, or call on the phone?  Any help
on the process would be greatly appriciated!!!  (If this is a dead subject for
this group, please e-mail me, or do it anyway so as not to waste bandwidth).
