I posted this last week but never saw it appear. We were having some
problems locally, so I apologize if this has already been distributed.

Usenet is based in "Unix land" but there are feeds to both DEC and
IBM systems. To recieve it on an IBM VM machine you need some free
software (Penn State is one supplier) and an electronic feed. We
have Usenet (NetNews) here on our VAX cluster and are now testing a
feed to our IBM VM system. Our initial feed comes to the VAX from
a Unix machine at another University. Best check with your local
sysadmin people. If you would like any further info let me know and
I'll dig it up what I have.
