The solution is not to gateway the unix-pc.* groups into comp.sys.att, the
solution is to get yourself a feed for the unix-pc.* groups.  There are
plenty of feeds available, although you might have to call long distance.
For example, if you are willing to call Rhode Island I can give you a feed.
In order to get a feed for the machine at work I ended up having to call
Kentucky.  There are currently two people collecting information about who
gets the unix-pc groups.  They can probably help you locate a feed in your
area.  Try contacting "dave@safari" for information.

In case you couldn't guess, I am AGAINST the merging of the groups.  I say
this from the dual standpoint of a user with a 7300 at home and of a system
administrator of several large systems at work.  I get both groups and I
think they both serve separate and useful purposes.  If anything, I think it
might be more useful to have someone gateway the comp.sys.att group into
unix-pc.general so that people who dont get both groups will have access to
the information.  You just have to be careful not to gateway anything that
was already cross-posted.
