[news.admin] bitnet, fidonet, and usenet

A friend on bitnet is interested in knowing if there is any way he can get
some news that currently comes over usenet and fidonet.  I know nothing
about how these networks talk to each other, but I told him I'd ask.

He is interested in particular in misc.handicap.  From the usenet side, this
appears as a gateway of several different fidonet groups (with moderated
posting from the usenet side).  Can bitnet people receive news from usenet?
Or should I direct him to look into each of the fido lists involved
individually?

Thanks!
