- You'll need to set up your System config twice, once as having TCP or
- TCP-online packet types, the other as UUCP type. Once you have things set up
- this way, asking for a Do all in ConnectThor will get and send mail, and get
- and send news postings, all at one go. You will not need to actually
- enter the UUCP-associated 'System' for this to work. 80 news groups, if they
- are large pose no problem except taking a few minutes to download, and eating
- a fair amount of your disk space.
