Hi all,
Jim De Arras (WA4ONG) here. I'm new to this group (and to internet, as
well!) and I have a couple of questions to throw out that may have already
been answered, so be patient!
First, it's my understanding that the nntp client in 042391 can be
used to get select usenet mail from a willing server.  If so, does anyone
know of a SURANET or close server I can use for a few months?  I have a 
(gasp!) NeXT on order with 1.4gb harddisk, and have arranged for a full
usenet feed when that arrives, but they say it won't ship for another month
or so, now.
Second, I run a HAM packet node/bbs that serves most of central Virginia.
I want to run NOS/NET on it.  I understand how to hook it to my G8BPQ node,
but the problem is, my largest available window is 350k.  I need a nice, 
stable, net/nos that'll fit, has a packet driver interface,
and an asy driver that supports the 16550.  042391 is too large, I suspose
I could re-compile for a smaller version, but if one is just sitting out there
somewhere, life could be so much easier!

Thanks much!
Jim
