     My list, Online-L, has outgrown its present server,
[log in to unmask]  Since 1 January 1989, it has grown from
approximately 40 to 300+.  I am searching for a new
primary ListServ and possible future peer servers.  The
following is a sample of the main weekdaily mailing.  There
is also a shorter daily supplement listing selected items
in the morning's New York Times (National Edition).  In
addition, there are other less frequent supplements.  I need
a ListServ capable of handling this traffic.  Any assistance
will be greatly appreciated!
