I got a note in the mail today... netcom.com (a public-access system
in the Bay Area) is looking for a newsfeed for bit.* via NNTP.  I would
offer, but right now my news-system need reconfiguration to get more
inodes, and that can't be done until the other applications are moved
off the box (come on Sun, ship that Sparc...) and in fact will be
looking for another bit.* feed myself soon.

If someone could help them out (in fact, are there volunteers to offer
bit.* newsfeeds via NNTP?) drop a note to netnews@netcom.com.

We're the phone company.  We don't care.  We don't have to.

FYI  (knowing that  if  you're  seeing this  you  probably  don't need  a
feed)...

As a  service to the  networking community, in  order to provide  a wider
distribution for  bit.** groups, and  because we are the  primary gateway
for bit.** and therefore it makes the most sense for us to do it, we have
been providing nntp bit.** feeds to anyone who asks for one.

In order to keep  as much bandwidth open as possible we  do not intend to
provide full  feeds to  any additional sites,  but will  provide bit-only
feeds upon request. If you hear of someone who needs a feed of the bit.**
groups, have them write to me or to Jeff Kight (jkight@american.edu)

SURAnet will provide feeds of bit.* (or any other hierarchy) via nntp
to any SURAnet customer. Since American feeds us, we're in a fairly
good position to do this.
