There is a bionet top-level news distribution on usenet which is gatewayed (bi-directionally, I think) from the various BIONET bboards. To get the bionet groups, all you have to do is find a news neighbor and ask them to send them to you. If you can't find a closer site, we would be willing to set up a uucp link just to send you those groups. The traffic is pretty light (in fact, sometimes I wonder if anybody uses them at all). There are a number of NNTP sites which get bionet as well. -- Roy Smith, System Administrator Public Health Research Institute {allegra,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers}!phri!roy -or- phri!roy@uunet.uu.net "The connector is the network"
