I'm sorry, it's a non-public gateway that I'm running on one of my company's server. But I've just had a look at the newsgroup list of the usenet server that I'm using. It contains a bunch of newsgroups named like the freebsd mailing lists, so I assume that these are coming from public gateways. They're probably one-way (i.e. read-only), i.e. you'd have to mail directly to the list if you want to reply. (It's also possible that they have a moderator script that feeds news postings back to the mailing lists, but I haven't tried that.) These are the names of the newsgroups: muc.lists.freebsd.* (e.g. muc.lists.freebsd.chat) sol.lists.freebsd.* (e.g. sol.lists.freebsd.chat) I assume those are two separate gateways. Maybe your usenet provider offers at least one of them. If they claim to have a "full feed", they should have both. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
