I offered to do this a year ago and Wayne State wanted to charge me for
access to the equipment that I proposed to provide.  They have a strange
outlook on such things.  (all $$$).

If OU had an SCP in the Warren/Sterling Heights area I would use that.
I'd rather not deal with Wayne State for the reason mentioned in the
previous paragraph.

How many are enough?  I'd say follow the usual USENET guidelines, that is,
100 more "Yes" votes than "No" votes for it to pass.

Steve - I will admit that the traffic in the Michigan Chat echo currently 
isn't real high.  On average I think its about 30 or so message a night.  
There are several other Michigan related echos but I don't happen to pick them
up currently.  In our would excess groups translates to more connect time and 
costs.  I will look into the subject of topics and message volumes and let you
know.

>Which Fido echoes would be appropriate for a gateway?

The local Michigan ones.  Mike brought this up at the last SEMiSLUG meeting,
given that there is more local traffic on Fido than the mi hierarchy, we
should think about combining the two.  I agree, it would bring in some
fresh blood, locally.

I just recieved this email, from wintert@wl.com (Tom Winters)

"In regards to your message about a mi.fido.jobs newsgroup. As the NC of
"Net-2200 of Fidonet in the Ann Arbor, Mi area I created such a local group 
"that is echoed to systems in Ann Arbor, Monroe and a couple of systems in
"Detroit. Traffic is low in the conference due to a smaller distribution. 
"I would welcome anyone to drop by my system (or any AANET site) and post
"job listings in the echo.

Dang!  Exactly what we want!  I suggest we gate Tom's group as mi.fido.jobs
and forget about a separate mi.jobs.  If anyone wants to post jobs and not
let local fido users read them, they can put them in mi.misc.

"My system is the Snowshoe Consulting BBS, Ann Arbor, Mi 313-665-5927.  It runs 
"under the OPUS BBS program and is an OPEN, public system.  First time users get
"full access to the message system.

Ann Arbor is long-distance for me, but if we get the gateway, I'll post my
programmer/help desk person needs there....

Followup-To: mi.misc
Organization: University of Michigan EECS Dept., Ann Arbor, MI
Distribution: usa
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 1992 02:43:02 GMT

I have a problem of which I can't figure out the source: my modem,
or Merit/Michnet.  I call from the Detroit area, using
the Merit phone lines, to a computer (this one)
at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.  
Well, lately my modem has been freezing up after awhile (like 10 minutes
into operation).  It doesn't freeze permanently, just stops sending
my keystrokes to the remote machine for about 15 seconds.  It stops
accepting input from the PC too, and my keyboard buffer fills up.
That is, none of the keys on my keyboard, including the scroll keys, work,
and after about 12 keystrokes my keyboard buffer fills up and starts
beeping whenever I strike a key (it's my PC's "keyboard buffer full" beep,
not the remote machine's beep).  Then, after a 15 second wait, I hear
a strange beep, the PC and modem unfreeze, and all the characters in
my keyboard buffer get played out (the local scroll keys I've hit scroll
the screen up and down, those keys that would send characters to the modem get sent, etc.)
It should be noted that my screen scrolling has nothing to do with the
remote machine (I'm just dialed in with Kermit v. 3.01 as my terminal
program), so what's really happening is my PC freezes up waiting for
my modem.
In the worst cases, which seem to be happening more and more, the first
character I type after my modem unfreezes just freezes it again, and I
am limited to typing no more than my keyboard buffer will hold for the
next 15 seconds.  So the worst cases look like this:
<Screen freezes>  <I go on typing until the keyboard buffer is full>
<I wait another 10 seconds> <Screen unfreezes>  <First character I
type freezes it again> <I continue typing to the keyboard buffer limit>
<I wait another 10 seconds> <Screen unfreezes> ad nauseam.
I think it's a combination of some weird thing Merit's connections do
and my modem.
Which leads me to:  does anyone else get infuriated trying to access
U of M--Ann Arbor computers over Merit from the Detroit area?  It's
so incredibly slow and lagging sometimes it's ridiculous.  Just
to get this advice tonight I'm making a call direct to the Merit
connection in Ann Arbor.  This connection is fine--is there some
sort of 1 kilobyte per second gateway between Detroit and Ann Arbor
through which all of Merit's information must pass?
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Brad

While I *do* think that mi.wanted is sufficient for job postings, if the

Msen is running the INN software, which has new news reader support

You can fetch it from here (ftp.msen.com:/pub/packages/inn) or get it from
UUNET.  Of course if too many Merit people grab it from here we'll have to

There are many students who need to be able to transfer large files via
modem in order to complete their classwork at home.  It's not realistic
to assume that all students are within the local calling area of the
university's direct dial-ins.

Perhaps it's time for Michnet to consider taking over the SCPs if the
local universities cannot support them to the current state of the art.

Duh.  Although there is a minor bug in newgroups.c (which I sent on to
tmc.edu), our particular problem was with a hosed up active.times file.
Once I fixed that, NEWGROUPS works just fine on terminator.

I think I'll try out INN on terminator once we upgrade it to a Sun-4.
It does a lot more news reading than news transferring.

I use them all the time and I know they are only 2400bps. I cannot seem
to get the Merit V.32 modems to work reliably with a connection from 
here to Destroyer. I've tried the ones in Dearborn and Ann Arbor (My
end has a Telebit T3000).  It fails in the middle of compressed news
transfers. Even when it does work, I get better throughput by using
2400bps. Go figure.
