The CamNet news server news.cam.net.uk carries several Usenet-style
newsgroups of our own.
Here's the list (as at 29th January 1997):
| Newsgroup | Description |
| cam.net.test | Test postings, local to CamNet. |
| cam.net.misc | Misc. chat, local to CamNet. |
| cam.net.announce | Important CamNet announcements (moderated by cam-net-announce@cam.net.uk). |
| cam.net.support.acorn | Support for Acorn 32bit computers on CamNet. |
| cam.net.support.bbc | BBC B/Master/Compact support on CamNet. |
| cam.net.support.bbs | Help with using CamNet's BBS system. |
| cam.net.support.dos | DOS terminal and KA9Q support for CamNet. |
| cam.net.support.mac | Support for Macintosh setups on Camnet. |
| cam.net.support.os2 | Support for OS/2 systems on CamNet. |
| cam.net.support.unix | Support for any/all Unix setups on CamNet. |
| cam.net.support.win31 | Windows 3.1/3.11 on CamNet and support on CamNet. |
| cam.net.support.win95 | Windows 95 info and support on CamNet. |
| cam.net.clubs.cb1 | Discussion of the CB1 Cybercafe. |
The first two groups (cam.net.test and cam.net.misc) are
local to CamNet, in other words they are carried only by our own
news server; the remaining groups are distributed more widely (in
particular, they are now carried by our friendly sponsors
Demon Internet Ltd.).
The CamNet news server also carries a few newsgroups from the outside
world. We may be able to broaden the coverage slightly at some
point in the future, but please don't hassle us about this at the moment!
If you have any problems reading or posting, or have any specific questions concerning CamNet's news system, please feel free to e-mail newsmaster@cam.net.uk.
More general problems with connecting to CamNet or configuring your
particular newsreader should be reported to
support@cam.net.uk (but
remember, there may be some useful information in the
Quick Start Guide
for your particular operating system).
