This is the sort of communication that I would like to see..... Sun does indeed have a large involvement with the USENET community. I am unaware, however, of any official policy regarding incoming USENET inquiries. Certainly, most of us here participate in various news groups and should something appear we usually respond. I'm not sure if this is just an informal action by us or not. There are a number of newsgroups that I get locally that all related to Sun. I've never bothered to check if these groups are distributed to sites other than Sun locations. I, for one, would welcome seeing IBM here. danielle ---------- -- UUCP: {hplabs,decvax,}!sun!toto!{danielle,dbercel} COM: dbercel%toto@sun ARPA: dbercel@sun.arpa Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc,comp.protocols.ibm Subject: Re: Request For Comments-- Should IBM be on the net?
