[net.works] Sun newsgroup?

From:  Mike.Caplinger <mike.rice@Rand-Relay>

We're interested in forming a new newsgroup devoted to software and
hardware issues surrounding the Sun workstation.  We at Rice currently
have about 10 SMI Suns with 4.2 on an Ethernet with Unix VAXen, so I
think have the technical experience to moderate this group.  If
anybody's interested, send mail to

I'm not sure that I would contribute much to this newsgroup, but I am
interested with being part of this group.  The project I am currently
working on is centered around the SUN, now running 4.1c but soon 4.2.

Yes, I am interested...

=====================
I'm going to try this message again.  Maybe the first line will get
sent this time...

ps.  We are currently only a Phonenet/CSNet site, so we won't be able
to handle any massive amount of traffic.  In less than 2 months we will
be on Telenet/CSNet, so we will be able to handle additional load.

	I think net.works provides an adequate forum for discussions
	about Sun systems.

In fact, why not net.works.sun??

How about net.works.sun?

re: net.works.sun

People have been using net.micro.68k for that purpose for some time. I myself
would rather see the discussion contained in that file, or in net.works. The
low traffic in net.works and net.micro.68k would seem to indicate to me that
the need for a separate notesfile for the Sun workstations is not really needed
and would only lead to a greater number of notesfiles with no improvement in
communication.
