There is currently an INFO-APPLEBUS group in ARPAland. To my knowledge, this information is not available to Usenet readers. I, for one, would like to see it available. This is both a survey and a request. The survey: 1. Do you want this info? 2. Should it be: a. Added to net.micro.mac? b. Create a net.micro.abus? c. Create a fa.info-applebus? As a practical, short-term solution, I think 2a is the best route, even though it's a busy list already. I don't like 2c, because I'd like to think Useneters will be posting their own contributions (or at least questions). The request: Who will forward it? I've checked uw-beaver and no go. The following sites are listed as INFO-APPLEBUS subscribers and would appear to be reasonably central in Usenet-land: hokey%plus5.uucp@seismo ihnp4!hokey!plus5 jsc%ucbcory@ucb-vax ucbvax!ucbcory:jsc dsc%daemon@tektronix macnair@washington (is this uw-beaver?) If you (or anyone else) would be willing to forward, please let me know. -- Joel West (619) 457-9681 CACI, Inc. - Federal 3344 N.

Send them both to INFO-MAC and INFO-APPLEBUS? It doesn't work well. INFO-MUSIC used to have the same problem with net.music and it's subgroups. -Ron

Why not gateway it via mod.micro.apple (or some such)? As it stands, the mailing list is reasonably technical, and I suspect many of the folks who submit will "go underground" if too much drivel gets posted to the group. A moderator would provide a good service in this case. As I mentioned before, the fa.all groups should really be mod.all groups anyway. -- Hokey ..ihnp4!plus5!hokey 314-725-9492

If the person who forwards INFO-APPLEBUS is willing to do the work involved in forwarding individual articles, both way, that would be terrific. In that case I would vote for adding it to net.micro.mac. I suspect that we will be lucky to get anyone to post it as a regular, individual-posting fa.group. Even a digest would be better than nothing. For these options, I would vote for fa.apple-bus. ---

As of today, INFO-APPLEBUS from MIT-XX.ARPA is being gatewayed into
fa.info-mac. The way to tell the difference between INFO-MAC and
INFO-APPLEBUS traffic is the return address. INFO-MAC is from
uw-beaver!info-mac, and INFO-APPLEBUS is from ucbvax!info-applebus.
