- The NON-US developer use ADSP, an UUCP network. Almost every land
- in europe+australia with a CBM-department has a node the local
- developers can call to get the ADSP groups and the Internet news
- groups. Furthermore you can also download software.
- Some weeks ago there was a discussion that all developers should
- be connected in this network, so they can learn from
- each other and to increase the information exchange level.
- The main argument against ADSP in US by WC was that the US developers
- must pay for long distance calls but that's the same for almost
- every ADSP developer......
