Hello Paul,

 Not a problem, subscribe to some of those binaries newsgroups,
aus.binaries.david.more.and.gaffa-taped.hamsters should be pretty full.

 BTW, how much is your UUCP link costing you, and for the domain name?  I was
looking a while back (couple of years ago actually) and I was looking at
$300+ for setup and at least $300/pa without taking volume charges into
account.  And that was the cheapest.  One of the most expensive said
$1000+/pa, at that stage I didn't listen to any more.  I didn't want mail
that bad.
