The only information I can add is their phone number (they do not list an address): (800) 7PC-NEWS - General sales line (listed in their ad) (303) 721-5400 - Technical question line (from the off-hours answering machine on the 800 no.) I only recieved one reply with any info; it sounds like a fairly decent deal, but they do have some trouble with certain foreign wire feeds. I haven't heard anything from Stargate, so they must be gone now. It would be really nice to get a newsfeed this way! -- Glen Overby uunet!ndsuvax!ncoverby (UUCP) ncoverby@ndsuvax (Bitnet)
