  19. I would like to see this group formed. Given that it may want to grow
  20. in the future, I feel that the group should be near the top of the
  21. vmsnet hierarchy, e.g. something like:
  22.  
  23.     vmsnet.alpha    (perhaps initially)
  24.  
  25. with more groups added later. As a few examples:
  26.  
  27.     vmsnet.alpha.porting
  28.     vmsnet.alpha.porting.macro32
  29.     vmsnet.alpha.programming
  30.  
  31. and perhaps some hardware related groups.

  33. >I propose a VMSNET Alpha group which would parallel the existing PDP-11 group.
  34. >I don't read the PDP-11 group, so I don't happen to know just where it is in
  35. >the heirarchy.
