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.
