aman@xroads.UUCP (Chris Minshall) (04/12/90)
Someone asked a similar question but I assume that all of the relevant replies were sent to him via e-mail instead of posted directly to the net (which would have been helpful since I probably wouldn't have to be writing this now). ANyway, I would like to know how to turn my amiga into a usenet node which I could receive mail from some of the groups I read such as comp.sys.amiga,comp.sys.amiga.tech,etc. Who would I contact to set my machine up as a node? Is there a cost? What kind of equipment would I need? I have a 2000HD w/40MEG Quantum (hopefully soon 100 MEG), 2400 baud modem, printer, 2 internal drives. What other equipment would I need? I know I would need the UUCP software (I think there is a new amiga version out). Any info on this would be appreciated and I think it should be posted to comp.sys.amiga or one of the other amiga subgroups. Thanks.
