[news.newsites] how to get on

jdf@pbhyc.UUCP (Jack Fine) (01/13/87)

Pardon me if I am asking this in the wrong place, but I have a good friend 
who is curious about how one (a company) becomes a newsite for the net.

I haven't a clue.  Can someone help us out here?

Much appreciated.

Jack

You find some existing site that is connected to the net and ask them to
let you call them or they call you. You then are "on the net".

You should then send in a map entry so that other sites know about you
