[alt.config] Looking for extra news feeds to increase connectivity

dhb@rayssd.ray.com (David H. Brierley) (10/19/88)

I have noticed that our connectivity in the alt.* and unix-pc.* groups is
somewhat lacking.  Therefore, I am looking for a few more sites that would be
willing to set up a news feed for the purpose of exchanging the alt.* and the
unix-pc.* newsgroups.  If you would be willing to exchange these groups with
us, or if you are willing to exchange just one of the sets, please send me
email.  We have two trailblazers and a gaggle of 2400 baud modems, all set up
for bi-directional calling.  Naturally, we would prefer if you are willing to
share the costs by having your system call us half of the time but we are
willing to make the calls at our expense if you have a trailblazer.  Since I
am desperate to get additional alt/unix-pc feeds, I will even consider
calling at 2400 baud.

Eventually, I would like to get at least a half a dozen feeds from all around
the US (and maybe even 1 or 2 outside the US) so please dont ignore this
message because you think you are too far away.  The long distance calling
costs flatten out very quickly once you get outside a 500 mile radius, so as
long as you stay within the US the costs are pretty constant.
