I currently work for a company with a Usenet access and have available all of the advantages, such as mail and netnews. But I will be leaving soon, and I'm afraid I'm going to go through withdrawal if I can't get my daily fix of netnews :-). I have a PC running MS-DOS at home (in NY), and what I want to know is, does this help me? Can I get all of the Usenet/UUCP software that I need and will somebody really want to give me a feed (I don't mean specifically in my case - that's up to me to find out - but do instititions do this in general for private individuals?). I'm an advanced Unix USER but I'm afraid that I know next to nothing about the administration side of what goes on. I basically need a shove in the right direction. Maybe there are some books I can read? Anything. I vaguely recall hearing about a software package called UUPC. Will this help me? Where can I get it from? I'm thinking of buying a Unix box in the future, so this might make things easier, but for right now I just have the PC and I want to know what I can do to remain "electronically connected" to the world. Thanks in advance for any help. Jonathan Sweedler === National Semiconductor Israel UUCP: ...!{amdahl,hplabs,decwrl}!nsc!taux01!cjosta Domain: cjosta@taux01.nsc.com
