Proline is BBS software and runs on Apple II's.  Almost all of the sites
running the software are connected to a Proline network.  Individual sites
deal with a variety of subjects, including Apple II, MACs, Amiga, etc.  Many,
like my own site receive both MAC and Apple II newsgroups.  As far as how you
access them, you can call one of the sites located in various cities
throughout the country and from that point have access to various newsgroups. 
Most of the Proline sites are privately owned and supported, so communications
costs connecting the sites are born by the individual site operators.
Obviously, by the way, you can access Proline sites via the gateways, just
like I'm doing now in the other direction.
