Our site has directories for the following "fa" type groups, but we've
never gotten anything in them. Is it in our news feed, or don't they
get gatewayed anymore?
arpa-bboard
bitgraph
digest-p
energy
info-vax
railroad

Of the groups listed, arpa-bboard and info-vax are most certainly alive
and well on the Arpanet. The fa.* groups seem to be riddled with
reliability problems; I'm not sure where the sink is, but a bunch of
articles are disappearing somewhere along the line. Since you're on
CSNET, you might want to consider getting the fa groups of interest via
direct mail and routing them into news; we do that here and it works out
very well, albeit a little more expensive.
