[ont.general] uucp feeds in Hamilton

chris@ziebmef.uucp (Chris Graham) (06/08/89)

  A friend of mine lives in Hamilton and would like to know if there are any
sites within his local calling area that would allow him to take a feed of
mail and news.  He plans to use an IBM PC, possibly with uupc.
 
  If there are any sites that would offer him a feed, he can be reached at
becker!comspec!doug.  He would also be satisfied with an interactive account 
on any public access system which participates in Usenet and uucp mail.

We will supply a mail feed to anyone in the Hamilton area as long as we have
the resources to do so.

I afraid we can't supply a news feed to single user leaf node machines. We are
willing to supply a news feed into a cluster of single user machines as long
as one machine acts as a gateway for others.
