From: utzoo!decvax!duke!unc!smb Newsgroups: net.followup Title: Re: new newsgroup: net.news.config Article-I.D.: unc.3948 Posted: Thu Sep 9 21:12:21 1982 Received: Fri Sep 10 05:49:37 1982 I suggest that as many sites as possible establish alternate transmission paths for net.news.config. By the very nature of the group, there will be some blockage, perhaps in a critical path. Around here, for example, there are many uucp mail links, but essentially all news for unc, mcnc, ncsu, tucc, web40, phs, and a bunch of other machines flows through duke -- if they're down, we're cut off. So I'm going to change my 'sys' file to send that one group to several other sites, just to make sure that the note can get out. --Steve
