Note that Stanford is an nntp feed.  This is for Internet sites;
uucp-only sites need not apply.  But read on ...

Must be netcom since the Feds still had netsys at last note.  :-(

Not many details to work out -- anybody willing to call San Jose is
welcome to a mail and/or news feed (unix-pc up to a full feed) from
ditka; anybody willing to call Cary, Illinois is welcome to whatever
is available on royko.  If it's a local call, I'll call them too.  I
have posted this offer before, as have Lenny and others -- there are
lots of feeds of the unix-pc groups around for the asking.  It's that
simple.

I can also help find feeds in many other areas if necessary -- both
in the Bay Area and elsewhere.  I exchange unix-pc with numerous
sites, ranging from local Silicon Valley sites to well-known sites
in Chicago, Atlanta, Portland, and others, to obscure places like
Flagstaff, Arizona.  I'm sure most of them would be willing to
share the wealth, as would many, many sites that I don't talk to.

Anyway, the only other details are the ones in my signature.
