This is a new group, correct? Does anyone know if the NOVELL listserv group on the Syracuse University VM Internet/Bitnet machine will be gated into this group? It would only make sense - it is a very large, active and established list. Posts to comp.sys.novell should be forwarded to this list and all posts to NOVELL@SUVM should be forwarded to comp.sys.novell. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Randall Cotton Disclaimer: any views Computing Services Office Network Support expressed are the University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign sole opinion of my dog

Have a look at the group bit.listserv.novell, this is an internet copy of the novell@suvm list. I believe it is a one way gate however, so you should post messages to NOVELL@SUVM.BITNET . -- tmunro@ccs.carleton.ca Voice:(613) 788-3722 Fax:(613) 788-4448

Yes, but there are some people (such as most of Australia, I believe) who do not have access to bit.* newsgroups for some reason. As such, forwarding news to this newsgroup would make a lot of sense- at the moment I can log in and find 150 mail articles waiting to be read! +Mark.

I believe that gatewaying bitnet listserver lists is a locally decided and implemented feature. At least that is how it is done here. Though I've never looked at exactly how this is done, I can't see where it could be very hard to do. I guess an ideal solution would be to have one system gateway traffic back and forth between netnews and the listserver. However, does everyone on the listserver WANT to see all the traffic from the newsgroup? Maybe. I guess it depends on how you are getting the Novell list (mail or gatewayed newsgroup). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Medici/SysProg3 * Rutgers University/CCIS * medici@elbereth.rutgers.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
