Cupertino, CA. Lines: 17 Perhaps it is time to take another look at fa.all in general... Since the net cut over, it seems that arpa in general has been flaky (from a message point of view) to the point that some of the newsgroups (such as info-vax) have been terribly unreliable since December when they existed at all. Also, some of the arpa stuff (notably net.micro and net.unix-wizards) is sent across through the regular net channel instead of having a second group in fa. It seems to be that the place where the fa group is really useful is in digested topics, but I have seen arpa digests posted to net.lang.prolog. A logical break to me would be that normally digested stuff should be sent through net.??? while digests would be sent though fa.???. Since I don't have to worry about the gateway, this is really easy for me to say, so perhaps someone who really knows what is involved could comment? -- >From the dungeons of the Warlock: Chuck Von Rospach ucbvax!amd70!packet!cfv (chuqui@mit-mc) <- obsolete!
