- If you have UUCP you can pick up a Clarinet feed (UPI news, Newsbytes,
- Street Price Report) from a local system that carries it or from a
- commercial news hub site (like Msen or UUNET or PSI) that gives feeds.
- Cost depends on the number of users you have. No need for a leased line,
- an ordinary dialup modem will do just fine, and it looks just like an
- ordinary Usenet feed (except that you have only limited rights as to what
- you can do with it.)
