Steve, I'm not sure what you mean by "explicit connection." There are a
number of public-access Unix sites that carry comp.sys.atari.st, as well
as several STadel and Citadel BBSes that carry it. Among the latter are
MAST and Class68 in Minnesota, BRASS in upstate New York, The Land in
Ohio, Cerebral Cortex in Nova Scotia (I think) and Bitsko's Bar and Grill
in Utah. Several of the People-Net nodes also carry it. I think it also
may be available on Bix and therefore to the BBS systems that use the
Citadel-to-Bix relay program cooked up by Jefferson Software.

The comp.binaries and comp.sources groups are another matter. I currently
am feeding both to MAST, but it's a manual process. (My rnews is not yet
smart enough to do the job.) Some of the BBSes may get them directly, but
I don't know which ones.

(Jim Kershner, can you elaborate on that?)
