1455.0. "reply on usenet?" by VIDEO::LEIBOW (Michael Leibow) Thu Jun 02 1988 17:56

    How does one send something to USENET (comp.sys.amiga) from here
    (DECNET).  I would like to respond to some of the notes that I read
    in AMIGA_MUMBLE

1455.1KCMVII::DAVISThat's not a BUG, it's a FEATURE!Thu Jun 02 1988 18:414
Send it to DECWRL::"comp.sys.amiga@USENET".  What's it like to be on the
other end of the net again?? :-)

    or to be even more generic...decwrl::"news.group.name@usenet"
    will do the trick...but the mail only interface makes it harder
    to track specific topics, etc.

How does one "converse", as efficiently as we all do here in NOTES, on the
USENET?

This mailing to DECWRL seems (from the complaints I've heard) to be rather
undependable.


John  (who has friends "on the other side of the net" who keep bugging him
	to send mail :-)


1455.4DECWRL works for meSAUTER::SAUTERJohn SauterFri Jun 03 1988 10:016
    I've never had any trouble sending and receiving individual mail
    messages through DECWRL.  I've even sent some software, one mail
    message per file, and all the files were received successfully.
    
    I understand the news feeds are not as reliable as individual messages.

1455.5mail==ok...news==mostly okMVCAD3::BAEDERD. Scott DTN 237-2961 SHR1-3/E19Fri Jun 03 1988 21:2711
    I'll second it...mail is great...especiall since last fall, (or
    whenever) that reah:: went away, and decwrl was upgraded...the gateways
    notes file has lots of address pointers, but your right, the news
    is a bit sporadic, no fault to Ed F. who runs the re-distrib
    software-no easy task.
    
    but the mail interface to usnet "news" is the best we got, unless
    your on an ultrix machine with a direct feed...drool...;-)
