I am in the situation where I have to send news over a DECnet only link (both machines run Ultrix). Sendnews works fine, but there is way too much overhead firing up a sendmail process for each article sent. Has anyone worked out a clever method for batching articles via DECnet? Any ideas, scripts etc. would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! -- Seth J.

Yes. Use nntp. Works great. Make sure you compile it with DECNET support (there is a define for this) and you'll be all set. We send lots of news internally at DEC that way. Fred
