Actually, it's fairly easy to put news (and rn) up on an IBM-PC running Unix. I'm posting this followup from just such a system. Since there are a LOT more VAX class machines running Unix than IBM-PC's (running Unix), I don't think you have to worry about the PC's flooding the net. By the way, Lauren's Uulink package allows an MS-DOS machine to be a news node. -- Dave Shanks ..!tektronix!tessi!atelabs!cds AT&E Laboratories cds@atelabs.UUCP 1400 NW Compton Suite 300 (503) 690-2000 Beaverton, OR 97006
