Hi I don't know if anyone can help me, but I'd like to get a news feed and/or mail access to arpanet, bitnet, or whatever. I'm from Massachusetts, is there a way to do this or a BBS setup that will allow this. Thanks, ----------------------------------------------------------------- This is my opinion only. Ken

There is a updated listing (called NIXPUB) posted to comp.misc every two weeks or so. Some of these are free, others cost ~$50 a year. Among other things, UseNet access is provided at some of these sites. My suggestion would be to "obtain" a terminal emulator program for your PC and dialing in. There is a 'UUPC' program around somewhere, but I don't know the details. I do know that there are a few Megabytes of News posted every day and my PC wouldn't handle it very well. Mike -- Michael S.
