We would like to let all you netlanders know that site spl1 is available to
provide high speed news feeds and mail links to all eligable organizations
*WITH* *NO* *ADMINISTRATION* *OR* *SERVICE* *CHAREGES*
spl1 is located in downtown Chicago and now has 4 USR Courrier HST's,
2 TELEBIT TRAILBLAZERS, and a gaggle of vanilla 2400BPS modems online
on our news/mail engine machine to support feeds.
The site is accessable through PC Persuit and operates 24 Hours/Day 7
Days/Week, dedicated to news and mail.
If there any sites which are interested in switching their feed to a high
speed DDD/ (your) Out WATS site, we would be happy to accept new users
(again, no fees involved).
Sound too good to be true? It's not. spl1 is now feeding sites like
Arthur Anderson's Corporate Offices, AT&T's National Tech Support Center,
Beatrice Foods' Corporate Offices, Reuter's Rich Inc, and others. We've
been up continuously for 60 days (knock on wood, a good indicator of
reliability) and haven't yet missed a feed for our sites. We are also
now hosting the new moderator for comp.binaries.ibm.pc
Qualification for connection to our site is a function of the number of
news readers your site supports and your willingness to offer downstream
feeds. We want to help extend and support USENET, helping a good thing
get better.
