1378.0. "Clari groups changed..." by TALLIS::DARCY (Alpha Migration Tools) Thu May 05 1994 11:39

    There's a new xrn newsgroup for news specifically about Ireland:
    	clari.world.europe.ireland
    
    NI/Scotland/Wales/England news are under
    	clari.world.europe.uk
    
    Anyone know if we are going to lose access to the clari groups
    in the future?  I heard they wanted 20k per year.

    FS.
1378.2Try UFP::XRN firstTALLIS::DARCYAlpha Migration ToolsThu May 05 1994 12:439
    You must get a news reader client - either xrn, mxrn, etc.
    There's a notesfile on UFP::XRN that has pointers to all
    the kits.  I run mxrn under Ultrix.
    
    After that all you do is access a server system that has the
    news feeds.  Our node "sousa" is one such system you can access.

1378.3For Ireland readers, use DECUK::. ClariNet feed is in jeapordy.KURIUS::LIBOVEFelines 'R' UsFri May 06 1994 12:4915
For news readers in Ireland, your nearest usenet news server is
DECUK:: (DECnet) or decuk.uvo.dec.com (TCP/IP).

The ClariNet service, from which comes the clari.* news hierarchy,
is a commercial service which costs Digital approx US$20,000/year.
The Network Systems Lab in Palo Alto, California, USA had been
generously paying this ... but can no longer afford it alone.

If you enjoy news, and especially if you can come up with a 
business justification, get your cost center manager to contact
Brian Reid ([email protected] or DECPA::REID) to offer to assist
in paying for ClariNet so that we don't lose the service!
