Does anyone have any good hints on how one would go about
setting up a news feed on our HP 9000/845SE, running HP-UX 7.0?
We will be getting news from a Sun 4/280.    This will be done
over ethernet.   What files will we need and so forth on the HP end?
Any helpful comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Please E-mail with your responses.
Thanks.

We use 'notes' internally at HP on 300s and 800s.  I've been told the
notes we run is a "good news citizen", referring to some apparent
earlier problems with interfaces to news feeds.  I like notes because of
its human interface, but honestly haven't tried news.  I'm sure you
could get lots of help setting up notes from HPites in your area.
