 Hello Paul, 

 PE>> Sort of, yes.  I will be a "news host".  BFN.  Paul.
 
 DM> That's fine - I have a news reader in Netscape News that should
 DM> allow me to retrieve messages. Have you a name yet ?

 PE> What do you mean "have you a name yet"?  My machine is called
 PE> "scorpio", but that's not an official internet name or
anything.  My
 PE> real internet address is avon{at}rosebay.matra.com.au, but in various
 PE> places I have configured my machine to be scorpio.rosebay.matra.com.au.

 Well, with the Netscape news reader,
 scorpio.rosebay.matra.com.au didn't register as a news host
 either. news.matra.com.au comes close with a decent pause before
 an error message comes up, though I suspect that it is a news
 host for Matra's subscribers only.

 You really don't make life easy, do you. Pity you can't be set
 up as a list server either. Though that may be possible, but
 that would depend on your ISP's charge structure.
