- Don't forget that there are packages for Atari ST and Amiga machines
- as well. The best ST version is HERMES, a shareware package from
- Germany and I think the Amiga version can be found on something
- called "fish disks"(?) if there is an interest, I can do
- further research.

- Finding a package for uucp mail and news for small machines is
- not difficult. Finding a feed site for a reasonable fee is the hard
- part and no, I do not consider uunet or PSI's fees reasonable for
- a small home site.
-
- BTW, can someone point me to the dos port of taylor uucp?
- Thanks.
