I suppose this | would take a bit of hacking and heartache. Where else is this code | distributed, which version is best? Could I send news/mail this way? | Also, could I grab UUSLAVE, and is that read-only? Anyway, I assume my | costs would be lessened if I were to find a friendly UUCP site within a | local call and arrange for them to feed me news? How would I go about | finding one? How does all that work anyway? +--------------- UUPC sources are in comp.sources.misc; a uuencoded binary is in comp.binaries. ibm.pc now. +--------------- | Alternatively, I've heard of public access USENET in Cleveland, and uunet. | Am I correct that I could get news without special software from them, | although at a cost? +--------------- If you're going to be in NY, try "crdos1", which is also public access UNIX. We feed news to them and you can send mail through us if you can't find another path. (BTW, thanks for the plug! ;-) UUNET is probably not worth the money; it's cost-effective for the larger sites, but ncoast would pay more than it does now!
