Re: (ASCEND) Interest poll for comp.dcom.sys.ascend
Has anyone got any recent experience with the cisco mail list and the cisco
news group.
There used to be a fairly active mailing list for Cisco on
cisco@spot.colorado.edu.
I havent been there for some time, but it used to be a very heavily used
resource, and as has been pointed out in earlier posts there was duplication.
Can anyone give a comment on its current useage. Maybe that may help swing
one way or the other.
