The inet groups are a project instigated "by Erik Fair (formerly of Berkeley, now of Apple) to replace the "old mailing list system with Usenet newsgroups. He set up gatewaying "between almost all the Knowne MailingLists and newsgroups he set up "and distributes under the inet distribution. Originally this was "meant for just sites directly on The Internet, but there's no real "reason to that limitation. We pass inet over BITNET to a site in Louisville. We get comp.lang.rexx and we are not connected in anyway to internet that I know of. Strictly UUCP. [we are not the site David referred to above] We get our feed from ddsw1, and it shows up here as a standard newsgroup. Oh well, if everyone can't get comp.lang.rexx then I guess we can't use it.
