PCNET UPDATE
Well, I have received numerous votes of "yes" to seeing
the INFO-PCNET mailing list gatewayed into Usenet. However, I
have since gotten some information (provided by mit-vax!mp) that
INFO-PCNET only averages about one message every three months
(see the message below) -- hardly worth a gateway.
Perhaps someone could hand-feed these into Usenet, and
maybe everyone who voted "yes" (especially those of you who wanted
to join!) can send off to offer to do a little bit of work on it.
Someone (I can't recall his login, although I have it somewhere...)
is going to send me a description of the protocols, I will digest them
and post some of the more interesting things when I get them.

Here is the response I got from the maintainer of INFO-PCNET:

To: MP at MIT-MC
INFO-PCNET has mail only when there are major new info to distribute.
It averages about one message every 3 months. We wish we had more
people doing active work programming instead of just sitting on
INFO-PCNET expecting somebody else to do all the work and tell them
about it. There is no log of past INFO-PCNET messages.
