any idea when usenet will be back?

Not soon. We need to do quite a number of things first.
Most impending is the physical move this weekend.
Then we have some fires to fight (disk problem, router problems).
When things settle a little, and if the not-yet-voted-into-power board
approves the expenditures, there is some hardware to acquire and
configure.

Overall I think we're looking at March at the earliest, but that's just a 
guess. 

About disks ---- is there any value in obtaining a 1+ Gig Seagate
Sabre V HD? It takes an IPI card. I can get the drive, but I
don't have the card.

o boy, oh boy, maybe now we can shorten the timetable!

Any people looking for usenet can telnet to launchpad.unc.edu
I personally get my news from another site but it's smal
and I don't want to get it flooded with people. But,
you can look around for non-profit freenets. They give
you full net access with usenet.

including posting???   and what about that drive?

There is an item in agora, #96, discussing usenet. If you haven't read that,
you should. It belongs in coop, too, and should get linked there.
Further discussion here would be redundant.

"March at the earliest".  <hehe>
