Isn't it about time we have a "386" newsgroup? I don't know how to go about the negotiation procedure to get one set up, so I will just put in my pre-vote right here. May be Bill will try again...

I have gotten a large number of comments that I should offer to moderate the intel386 group. I currently do the mailing list, and would expect to continue that unless someone can tell me how to get the info to my bitnet/csnet readers. In the meantime, send requests to join the mailing list to 386users-request@udel.edu, via ARPA or uunet. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs | seismo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
