While helping a (non-local) friend look into | news feed options, I realized that uunet costs a *lot* more for west | coast folks than those who are closer. This is based on a TrailBlazer For low budget sites, uunet can be reached by PC Pursuit and Dial America service. This keeps the cost way down. If you need to send stuff during the day, of course, you will still be faced with a stiff bill. If you are looking for a local feed, rather than the gateway features uunet provides, you should be able to find one almost anywhere. I think portal will feed anyone on the west coast for a price, but I have no idea what that price is. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs | seismo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
