[comp.protocols.ibm] Question about Usenet newsgroups

AUMXS@ASUACAD.BITNET ("Michael J. Steiner") (11/12/89)

Is it possible to get access to Usenet newsgroups (like comp.lang.c)
from a VM/CMS, VMS, or MVS site on BITNET?

If not, is any of the news information on Usenet distributed in printed
form (like a magazine)?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Some sites (such as ours) are now running NETNEWS which is
available from LISTSERV@PSUVM.  It supports the Usenet
newsgroups in the VM environment.  The feeds are made over
BitNet.
