|	1. Anywhere, any speed if you poll
|	2. you should forward unix-pc,comp.sys.3b1, and comp.sources.3b1
|	   articles generated near your machine, maybe skipping those
|	   that traveled through well connected sites like uunet or att.
|	   (this helps me keep my set reliable, and makes sure your
|	    and your neighbor's messages get out)
|	3. I'll send mail to you on demand if you have a telebit.

	I have put together a handy system which
	emails compressed news batches, and injects
	them back into news at the receiving end.
	It even works (although with delays of course)
	with ihave/sendme, and is compatible with
	both B & C news.

	I can make this available as a test distribution
	to those who need to provide such a service, or
	who would be the recipients.  I also would be
	willing to mail "unix-pc.*" and "comp.*.3b1"
	news batches to anyone who needed them, using
	this system.
