Newsgroup Mirrors

The Firebird developers' list and the general community lists, along with some other lists of interest to Firebird and InterBase developers, are mirrored as newsgroups at the news. atkin.com news server. For historical reasons, some of them have weird names, e.g. "egroups.ib- support" is the mirror for the firebird-support list.
