< "fa.*" is a set of groups that are gatewayed to USENET from the
< ARPANET.  The "fa.*" groups consist mainly of digests, though there are
< some bulletin boards.  To post to "fa.*" groups, send mail back along
< the return address found in the "From" line of the articles.
19,22c19,25
< Some of the "net.*" and "fa.*" groups are gatewayed between the
< networks, i.e. items submitted from the ARPA side to the digest are
< split up and submitted to the USENET group, while articles submitted on
< the USENET side are bundled up and submitted to the digest.

> Some of the "net" groups are bidirectionally gatewayed with

> articles submitted on the USENET side are bundled up and submitted to
> the mailing list.  Most such gatewayed groups are done as "mod"
> groups.  A complete list of moderated newsgroups, submission addresses

< "mod.*" groups are moderated.  They can only be posted to by mailing to
< the moderator (provided in a companion posting).

> The following "net" groups have been gatewayed with the listed
> Arpa Internet lists.  Some of them may not still be gatewayed due to
> broken software and/or gateways; such groups are marked with an
> asterisk ("*") in the list below.  Please contact me if you should know
