Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 18 Actually, I contacted the administrator for INFO-MAC, and there is already so much traffic just on the ARPANET mailing list that he feels a USENET gateway would be inappropriate at this time. He is also attempting to have the mailing list concentrate on the schools in the consortium that got the special pricing deal. Though if INFO-MAC goes to a digest format, it might then be appropriate to gateway that one-way into fa.info-mac (you'd mail submissions to one address rather than posting directly). So. No INFO-MAC gateway for the moment. That leaves a USENET-only newsgroup. There are several options, including: a) leave things alone and use net.micro.apple b) create net.micro.apple.mac for MAC and LISA traffic c) use net.micro.68K d) create a newsgroup of some other name (several suggestions). -- John Quarterman, CS Dept., University of Texas, Austin, Texas jsq@ut-sally.ARPA, jsq@ut-sally.UUCP, {ihnp4,seismo,ctvax}!ut-sally!jsq
