This is just a feeler to find out if there is any interest out there is starting RT or RSX newsgroups. I'd be interested in starting both. Here at Tektronix we have many 11/73's & 11/23's where most of them are running RSX. Oh, yes, we have quite a few 11/34's and other UNIBUS machines, too. Most of our applications are CIM and real-time types. Anyone know how much hassle it would be to start this newsgroup? I'd be willing to lend a hand to get it going. -- Robert N.

I've always wondered why there wasn't a newsgroup or arpa mailing list for 11's. There's info-rsts, but it seems to have fallen into disrepair. I'd certainly be interested, but to appeal to a larger base of people, why not just make it an 11 newsgroup? Comp.org.pdp11? Or should we just use comp.org.decus? I'm not familar with what it takes to create a newsgroup.

We could do a newsgroup if there's interest in that, though I suspect a lot of the interested parties aren't on the Usenet. A moderated newsgroup could be set up that's just a gateway to/from the mailing list (much like comp.os.vms is currently set up). So, if you're interested, send mail, or post a followup (followups redirected to news.groups). --Pat.

I'd be interested in a general PDP-11 newsgroup. At some time in the future, I might be able to sponsor such a group, or at least handle BITNET redistribution. However, our mailer is not yet sufficiently versatile. Ed <MCGUIRE@GRIN2.BITNET>
