If there are others interested I can gate any number of echos into FIDO format. 
I can either send them to the entire backbone for all users or can make them 
available for pickup via binkp/vmodem connections on an individual basis. 

So... anyone besides Stu looking for the OS2 newsgroups enough to want me to 
gate them? 

Stu, in the meantime if you can pickup via binkp/vmodem I can start the gating 
and make them available to you immediately.
