I just wanted to know if all of you USEnet readers can access the
Cleveland freenet's atari sig area via usenet. There are several
newsgroups in the atari sig on freenet, and if you can access them
using usenet, try posting there. The SIG is huge, and there
are several categories for atari posting. But, there are several
advantages to logging on to the freenet. Try using the following,
if you can...
freenet.sci.comp.atari.general ST and 8-bit discussion
freenet.sci.comp.atari.news Atari News!
freenet.sci.comp.atari.forsale Our wanted/forsale area
freenet.sci.comp.atari.prog Our HUGE programmers SIG. There
are several sub-sections to this one..
Please reply via mail to whether you can read freenet newsgroups or
not. If you can't, you can always get registered with the Freenet.
Everthing is completely FREE!

Nope. Freenet discussion groups are not part of Usenet. Usenet is netnews
in the seven major hierarchies, and that's all.
Freenet is accessible to Internet sites*, but they are only a fraction of
the Usenet.
Freenet could set up a digest-by-mail service if it chose to do so. Many
of the Usenet newsgroups are delivered as digests to sites that, for
whatever reason, cannot receive conventional Usenet service.
(*Internet sites are systems running Internet TCP/IP network
communications protocols AND connected to a regional network that is a
component of the Internet. Such connections can be extremely expensive,
so most smaller businesses and private sites get email and Usenet through
other methods, such as UUCP. Domain addresses do not indicate that a site
is on the Internet.)
