- Be lucky that your university at least has a USENET feed. Here in Kiel
- students don't have USENET and just local email. But there is TELNET
- that you can use :-) Or you join a commercial BBS (that's what I did)
- but there you have to pay tons of money :-(

- Or try nyx.cs.du.edu if you can reach it (I can't). The bad thing
- about Cleveland is that you got a cryptic looking account, mine is
- cv198 or so.. At nyx you have somthing more descriptive, Ross Mair for
- example has rmair, mine would be kvoigt.
