Too much cross-posting?

I can't answer this question, but to the best of my knowledge, many/all unix-pc
sites are willing to establish connections.  I set up two extra connections
locally just to provide extra distribution for unix-pc.*.  I also mail the
contents of most of the unix-pc groups to sites that can not receive the
newsgroups, and have been doing this for well over a year.

At any rate, I am still willing to provide the groups via email, and am also
willing to provide UUCP connections to any site that is either local or is
willing to dial in.  I have a Trailblazer+ and calculated that for the about
15 days of unix-pc.* in my /usr/spool/news (550K) it would take a little over
11 minutes of phone time to transfer the whole pile.  So, for just a few $$ a
month, sites anywhere in the country could pick it up; it's even cheaper than
UUNET :-)
