I believe that 4.0 will have both RFS and NFS - see below.  NFS is too
widely implemented for it to be dropped or cleaned up (re-implemented).
This is unfortunate as NFS really sucks canal water.  :-)

Basically after much moaning and groaning among members of the info-3b2
mailing list I have gone ahead and created the news distribution. I would
like other members of the info-3b mailing list to go ahead and suggest the
configuration of this news distribution. 

Sites wishing to drop off the mailing list should contact kdavis at lamc or
