(btw, so was the response from ben parker of lsoft, who helped immensely.) if you're gating bit.listserv.* to a list, you'll still have the same usenet newsgroup name. those gating other newsgroups to a list will have the same newsgroup name as well. [log in to unmask] welcomes gateway questions from any listowners interested in the new service. i highly recommend the newsguy.com gateway service, for those who've been using the american.edu gateway service. :-) maureen leblanc hwy61-l
