Here at wa8tzg I get fed from sharkey which is happily feeding me BOTH unix-pc.* AND comp.{sys | sources}.3b1. umich also feeds pmsmam (my machine at work) BOTH groups. I know I'M running Cnews (15-Dec-1990) with the unix-pc.* aliased to comp.{sys|sources}.3b1. I think sharkey is also a Cnews site.

BTR.COM is getting a ton of comp.*.3b1 and unix-pc.* material and is fed by only decwrl, mips and fernwood ... systems which Kris indicated are NOT feeding 3B1 properly. PORTAL isn't getting diddly-squirt, but that's their problem. :-) OK, so WHERE or HOW are all the 3b1 postings arriving at BTR? Via some magical "ether" net on which one uses Philosopher's Stone transceivers and crystal terminators with little winged faeries twiddling the bits? :-) In case anyone's interested, I have archived EVERYTHING appearing in the comp.*.3b1 newsgroups. The compressed tar file is already approaching 1MB, so please do NOT ask me to email it to you. I plan to make it available at the users' group meeting this month and perhaps something can be worked out by US Mail for anyone interested.
