Someone asked a similar question but I assume that all of the relevant
replies were sent to him via e-mail instead of posted directly to the net
(which would have been helpful since I probably wouldn't have to be writing
this now).  ANyway, I would like to know how to turn my amiga into a usenet
node which I could receive mail from some of the groups I read such as
comp.sys.amiga,comp.sys.amiga.tech,etc.  Who would I contact to set my
machine up as a node?  Is there a cost?  What kind of equipment would I need?
I have a 2000HD w/40MEG Quantum (hopefully soon 100 MEG), 2400 baud modem,
printer, 2 internal drives.  What other equipment would I need?  I know I
would need the UUCP software (I think there is a new amiga version out).  Any
info on this would be appreciated and I think it should be posted to
comp.sys.amiga or one of the other amiga subgroups.  Thanks.
