I am going to try and convince my new employer to become a network node so that we can send e-mail and read the news. I was wondering what steps are required to do this? If I could get some detailed information it would make the job of getting my boss to say okay. So what are the costs involved, what kind of hardware is required (we have a AT & T 3b2 running Unix, and a 1200 baud at the office). As well, if I can't get my employer to agree to all of this, is there any way that I can access news from a PC at home. I.e. are there any BBS that have access to the news, if so what are there phone numbers. Thanks in advance for your help. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Cary Lewis - "You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
