Tom Huber and I run the current gateway. We took it over from SRI. I have not yet asked Tom, but since he is a 48sx user I suspect that his interests would take the handhelds mailing list with the 48sx messages. A complication is that there is already a HP28/48 mailing list provided by the BITNET LISTSERV system. As far as I know it is not gatewayed to USENET, and I am not equiped to provide a gateway to that mailing-list, I also do not know who runs that list, or how much crossposting takes place. The handhelds mailing list has a different mission than the HP28/48 mailing list provided by the LISTSERVs. Another HP mailing list would be a duplication. There are currently 120 subscribers to the handhelds mailing list, a few of the subscribers are gateways to BBS systems, and internal Corporate news and BBS systems. I am hoping to rewrite the software I am using to impliment the gateway. Right now it works, but it sends through an extra header. I hope to strip out most of the second header. I am learning more about my mailer. Please post your opinions, or feel free to send them to me. -- Dan Boehlke Internet: dan@gac.edu Campus Network Manager BITNET: dan@gacvax1.bitnet Gustavus Adolphus College St. Peter, MN 56082 USA Phone: (507)933-7596
