[tor.general] Looking for a newsfeed

cks@radio.toronto.edu (Chris Siebenmann) (04/14/88)

 Well, I'm setting up a new Unix system, and of course I'd like Usenet
on it. So I'm looking for a partial newsfeed; I'm interested in
getting the following groups (including inet newsgroups, if possible):

	news.*				Of course.
	comp.*
	rec.*
	sci.*
	unix-pc.*			Since the system is a 3B1
	alt.config, alt.hypertext,	Interesting things happen in these
	alt.cyberpunk, alt.sources	 newgroups every now and then.
	some of the list.* newsgroups

[list.* newsgroups are a UofT-wide redistribution of various mailing
lists.]

 I realize in advance that many people may not carry the unix-pc.*
newsgroups, and that I'm unlikely to find non-UofT machines carrying
the list.* newsgroups; if you can feed me just news, comp, rec, and
sci I'd be happy. The system will probably be running at 2400 baud,
and could either poll people or be polled, whichever would be more
convenient.

 Thanks in advance.
