    From Stephen Walsh@3:633/280 to All on Tuesday, September 09, 2025 20:00:28

    Hello everybody!


    In response to Paul's announcement that he would be closing the news gate on September 2nd, I have been working for the past few months to
    configure and test my own news server and gateway. It was a step-by-step process, with each piece of the puzzle needing to be solved before
    moving on to the next.

    Within the next 48 hours, my new gateway will be active, providing a two-way link between the Usenet group "comp.sys.cbm" and this echo.

    Enjoy your C=

    Do you have a good spamfilter in place!? ;-)


    Bye, Wilfred.

    Thank you for all of your hard work! I've gated USENET to my BBS before
    so I understand the silliness that can be involved.

    Yes, but in saying that no spam filter will ever be 100% perfect.

    Thanks, INN has way to many config files ^-(

    Silliness seams to be in bread with some people! #-;
