Ncoast receives alt.sources; if it's interesting and it's in alt.sources it gets forwarded into comp.sources.misc. (Until alt gets a larger distribution than a nominal 10% of the net.) Some extra odds and ends: - UUNET carries the alt subnetwork. So does ncoast, if you're willing to pay for the call (we sure as h*ll can't unless AT&T wants to pay our expenses; public access unicen aren't a good way to roll in money). - If cbosgd wants them, cbosgd can get them: we have an (inactive at present) link with them. It's supposed to become active sometime in August, I believe. (If they don't want them, that's their choice to make; such is the alt subnet.) -- Brandon S.
