NETNEWS@AUVM is subscribed to [log in to unmask] The postings come as if from
[log in to unmask] and are posted  to bit.listserv.infonets. AUVM is the
global  gateway  for bit.listserv.infonets,  and  so  these postings  are
routed around Usenet  to any site getting the bit.*  hierarchy. Since the
gateway is bi-directional, postings  to bit.listserv.infonets received at
AUVM in our Usenet feed are sent to [log in to unmask]
 
Information on Linda Littleton's NETNEWS program can be obtain by sending
a  GET NETNEWS  PACKAGE command  to [log in to unmask]  Questions about  the
gateway function can be directed to me.
