This is not really for Sun-Spots, but if its answered, I won't have to
trouble this forum again on similar matters ...
Does anyone know:
1) if there are any gateways between the Internet and BIX
and/or CompuServe ?
2) if there is anyway to send messages to Usenet news boards
without actually being on Usenet ?
your expertise is appreciated,
Paul

[[ (1): I doubt that there are any official ones.
(2): Have someone who is on Usenet do it (example: everything sent
out in a Sun-Spots digest is also posted to comp.sys.sun. A good
percentage of Sun-Spots readers are not on Usenet). --wnl ]]rsalz@bbn.com (Rich Salz) (04/05/89)
> 1) if there are any gateways between the Internet and BIX > and/or CompuServe ? BIX has is investigating an official gateway, I believe with the folks at UUNET. CompuServe has a project going on, also, the work is being done by Karl Kleinpaste of Ohio-State. Based on postingsd seen elsewhere, I wouldn't be surprised if MCIMail also had something in the works. > 2) if there is anyway to send messages to Usenet news boards > without actually being on Usenet ? A large number of newsgroups are gatewayed between mailing lists, but UCBVAX has gateways INTO all of them, pretty much.
