<< Can't anyone who has a 3B1 hook into the unix-pc net? Yes. >>

No. I have been asking for a feed in my area for a month. There seems
to be none. I do, however, receive news and notes from USEnertt locally,
without a long-distance call.

It seems to me that the unix-pc net is accessible only from major cities,
or by professionals (MDs, lawyers, etc.) whose offices have purchased
a unix pc and can afford the long distance charges. Unfortunately, I am
a student in the heart of the Corn Belt.

Once again, is there a unix-pc net feed near Champaign-Urbana, Illinois,
or Purdue University, Indiana? Or are there any other 3B1 owners in the
Champaign-Urbana area who are willing to split the cost of a phone call
to Chicago, which seems to be the nearest place I can get a feed? Or are
there any unix-pc feeds in Decatur, Danville, Bllomington, Peoria, or
Springfield, Illinois?
