^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^LINE EATER BEWARE^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I will be leaving my current job shortly but I would like to be able to
still have access to the net.  Finding a site will not be especially
difficult as I think the area I am in has the highest net node density
of anyplace in North America.  But I do have the following questions:

1) I am buying a PC-AT clone and plan on running some flavor of unix,
SCO, XENIX, etc).  Which unix system would be easiest to make news run
under?

2) Where do I get the programs required to make news functional?

3) If someone already has an AT set up to get news would it be possible
for me to send you a box of floppies and get a working news system?

Any comments or help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance!!
