Perhaps Microport should consider joing the 'biz' distribution. Biz
was set up specifically for manufacturers who want to post product 
announcements, bug lists, and other material of a commercial nature.

Biz groups are distributed under the same policy as the alt groups. You
must ask for a feed of a particular group. This allows a site to subscribe
to certain catagories of the groups (eg. biz.comp.telebit) while ignoring
(and not paying LD charges for) groups that are not relevent to what you
are interested in.

If you're interested in finding out more about the biz groups, send mail
to ddsw1!karl, or to me. If anyone from Microport is listening, the
same offer applies.
