I'm running C news on both ends, and am sending a partial newsfeed to a leaf site with (currently) only a 2400bps modem. Is there something in the setup that can tell C news not to send all the news right back? It just gets rejected as duplicate, (99.9%, anyway) and ties up both modems for twice as long as needed. Thanks in advance for any insight. -- Mark McWiggins Integration Technologies, Inc.

To quote build: Several programs need to know an overall name for the system news is being run on, where "system" may include multiple machines if they share a common set of control files and articles; this is used in article headers and related places. For uucp sites, this usually should be the uucp name. It is VITAL that you and your neighboring sites agree on this name -- if their news systems know you by a different name, or even a slightly-different variation of the same overall name, there will be trouble... You've run into one form of the aforementioned trouble. -- "But this *is* the simplified version | Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology for the general public." -S.
