   You know somebody has a 9600 baud Usenet feed on a SCPC channel on
   a couple of satellites? I'm still trying to get more info about
   that.

Try contacting the folks at the Stargate project (mark@stargate.com) -
they did (do?) news over spare bandwidth on Ted Turner's network.  The
economics tilted somewhat away from their scheme with the introduction
of the Trailblazer and widespread use of NNTP, as well as the
universal availablility of UUNET.  I don't know whether the project is
officially belly-up or still in business serving a smaller niche.
