    There is currently a project going on to develop a gateway between USENET
and the Fido network.   Fido is a BBS that runs on any MS-DOS based computer.
We expect to have the ablility to send mail as well as the newsgroups between
the two nets.  John Gilmore is currently debuging uuslave and we will be
looking into uuslave as the transport mechanism for the gateway.  
    For more information concerning this project, send mail to me or the 
spot mailing list, spot-m.
