Two unrelated questions:

(1) First, how hard is it to set up your Amiga as a UUCP node?  The
    software is available for readnews, mailer, etc., but what else
    is required?  Is it easy to convince a local node to feed you?
    Can you only download the groups you want?  I'm curious to hear
    from those of you who've set up their systems on the net....

(2) My Amiga 2000 is as noisy as a Mac II.  But what's worse, it also
    makes a grating whining noise.  At first I thought it was the monitor
    because of the high frequencies involved.... anyone else experience
    this?  If so, is it curable?  I don't think it's just the fan.

Thanks!
