MCIS Technical Support staff have been investigating the reported problems with local NetNews postings not making it out of Miami to the outside world. So far Kent Covert has confirmed with Ohio State University (both directly and indirectly) that NetNews postings from Miami are, in fact, being received at Ohio State (the next news site "upstream" of Miami toward the greater USENET universe), and that those postings are, in fact, being passed on through to the other news sites "upstream" from OSU. Using accounts at other institutions, I too have seen postings to general newsgroups from folks here at Miami. If anyone has specific instances of postings they've made to non-mu.* newsgroups which they have reason to believe have not arrived at other news sites, please contact Kent with all the particulars at [log in to unmask] (or KACovert on MiaVX1). Thanks. -- John B Harlan Campus Wide Information Systems (CWIS) Coordinator Miami University (Ohio USA) [log in to unmask]
