Yeah, but I'd kind of like for us to have our own. If nothing
else, I want to have my own that I can access directly as opposed to
having to interact with the FAQ posting server at rtfm (or anywhere
else, for that matter). I think this is an area where we could
improve the level of service to our customers, as well as being able
to make use of it for my own purposes.

I'm not talking about a generic mail-to-news/news-to-mail gateway
(although we could use that as well), I'm thinking of a more specific
use to help set up bidirectional gateways between mailing lists and
newsgroups, for those that don't already have them. We could tie in
web-based archives, as well.
