From: Doug Kingston <dpk@brl-vgr> Well, its like this... Net.sources is just a special newsgroup in the USENET news system, which is primarily circulated among UUCP sites (although there are other connections). USENET carries many of the same discussion groups we have here in the ARPA/MILNET world, and many we do not. The reverse is also true. Net.sources has not normally been available to the ARPA community. This is now changed. I am now prepared to mail out all submissions to net.sources via mail to all Internet hosts that wish to subscribe. I am calling the mailing list "unix-sources" to reflect the actual content of the newsgroup. Please send requests to be added to the "unix-sources" mailing list to: unix-sources-request @ brl-tgr I would like to request that only one addressee per site subscribe since some of the mailings will be quite large. For the time being, this will be a one-way distribution. Mailings to unix-sources will be forwarded back to me, and not the list. If appropriate, I will enter them into the news system here at BRL so that they reach USENET as well as the Internet. Please note that the host BRL-TGR is on BRLNET1 (192.5.21.4) so you will need to be have this net in your routing tables if you do not have a default routing to a prime gateway. BRLNET1 can be reached via BRL-GATEWAY (26.3.0.29). Cheers, -Doug- Douglas P. Kingston III Advanced Computer Systems Team Ballistics Research Lab Attn: DRSMC-BLV-V (A) APG, Md. 21005 (301) 278-6651
