- I'm confused - and hopefully you (whoever this is) can help.
-
- What is the relationshiip between this "mailing list" or "digest" and
- the comp.dcom.telecom Usenet newsgroup. I thought they were two
- separate things. Is this really the "posting" mechanism for
- comp.dcom.telecom?
-
- Any clarification would be appreciated.

- [Moderator's Note: I aleady wrote Mr. Valkenaar with more detailed
- information. TELECOM Digest and comp.dcom.telecom are one and the same
- thing. The messages are published in each at the same time. The only
- difference is that the messages appear one at a time in the Usenet
- group while several shorter messages are clustered together into a
- single larger message when they are send to the mailing list. One
- reason for the latter is the large number of readers who cannot get
- the newsgroups for whatever reason, such as the folks on networks
- other than the Internet. PAT]
