Anyone else notice taht these are mutually contradictory?  at least, in terms
of getting unix-pc articles to people whose sites don't get unix-pc?

I wouldn't count on the readers cross-posting, especially those at unix-pc-only
sites.  Rather, let me insert a plug for my own project:  I'm running a unix-pc
to mail gateway, with the ultimate goal of gatewaying unix-pc into
comp.sys.att.  To join the mailing list, send me email; enough readers and I'll
see about changing over to a unix-pc/Usenet gateway.
