- relcom
- ------
-
- Relcom.* is the hierarchy of Russian-language newsgroups distributed
- mostly on the territory of the former Soviet Union (non-CIS countries
- included). These groups are available in Europe and Northern America;
- due to the 8-bit encoding (KOI-8) of Cyrillic letters, minor software
- modifications may be required.
-
- Newsgroups under the hierarchy relcom.commerce contain classified
- advertisements and are relatively high-volume; the nature of the
- information distributed in those groups may contradict policy of some
- networks. However, they may be valuable for researchers and
- businessmen interested in the first-hand information on the economics
- of FSU countries.
-
- Dmitri Martynoff <dmart@newcom.kiae.su> is the Relcom staff member
- responsible for netnews -- contact him for more information.

- vmsnet
- ------
-
- This hierarchy is for topics of interest to VAX/VMS users (but not
- necessarily VMS-specific). These groups are a project of the VMSnet working
- group of the VAX SIG of the US Chapter of DECUS (the Digital Equipment
- Computer User's Society). They are carried by most major usenet news sites,
- and almost half of all netnews sites. To find a feed, contact the system
- managers of news sites near you, and/or post to a local or regional
- newsgroup and ask if anyone in the area is carrying the VMSnet newsgroups.
-
- If you have tried these alternatives and still can not find a site in your
- local area that carries the VMSnet groups, you can send mail to the VMSnet
- Network Coordinator, currently Charles T. Smith, Jr. <cts@dragon.com>, who
- will attempt to assist you in finding a feed for the groups. Alternatively,
- you can send mail to the VMSnet mailing list <vmsnet@drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu>,
- which is also gatewayed to the vmsnet.uucp newsgroup and ask for help.
-
- In either case, be sure to state where you are geographically, and what
- your constraints are. For instance, if you can only place local phone
- calls, be sure to say just what areas are a local call for you. Also
- describe your network connectivity (what networks you are on, your uucp
- neighbors, etc.).
-
- Here is a recent list of VMSnet newsgroups. NOTE: this is NOT the
- definitive list of VMSnet newsgroups. The current definitive list is always
