A frien of mine who lives in the UK (Wales specifically) has asked me
to look into public access unix stuff over there. Can anyone out there
tell me anything? (by email preferably)

When I do get acces to it (it seems to be busy quite a lot since only 1 modem) there is UA (with only a few conferences) and if you ask the Sysop (Chris) nicely he will give you a login id for the shell. From there there is email and Usenet via uk.co.bt.axion. I don't know how Chris manages to provide this service free, but I thank him for it! -- Stephen Harris Disclaimer: me have an opinion? | Email: sweh%uucp.tharr@uk.co.bt.axion What an idea! | (But don't ask me what gateways) <-- tharr *free* public access to Usenet in the UK 0234 261804 -->
