Attachments, now, would be no use to me, but I think they would be interesting once I have the equip. to get news on my cube. How do we address the problems of users who are stuck with a vt100 interface and/or pay for newsfeeds by the byte? How about a parallel news group, comp.sys.next.attachments, and some kind of scheme that will post articles with attachments to both comp.sys.next and comp.sys.next.attachments. There would be some way to correlate ther parts. This way, users stuck with vt100s or whom don't want to pay outrageous sums, can get/read the vanilla news group. Of course, newsreaders would have to be adjusted. Will ******* Will Raymond - Northern Telecom NTP in RTP | | ~ ~ | | . O o .
