[comp.sys.dec] Request Help - Netnews for VMS

cam@swbatl.UUCP (5415) (11/17/89)

I work with a number of UN*X systems participating in USENET.  I have
colleagues with VMS VAX systems, primarily running All-In-1 office
software, who would like to participate also.  The VMS systems are
running DECNet, but not TCP/IP.  I have an ULTRIX box available to
use as a DECNet/Internet gateway if that would help.

I would appreciate any advice on where to obtain news software for VMS,
how to net configure over DECNet/Internet or TCP/IP if that's required,
etc.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Please reply via E-mail.

Thanks in advance!

Get DECUS UUCP from DECUS or VAX NOTES from DEC.  The former is more or
less from and very well integrated witht he Usenet world.  The later costs
$ and you must manual set up the connects for each newsgroup you want to handle
but it will have a very all-in-1 like interface.

Check out 1.ANU_NEWS, a public domain (EXTREMELY WELL DONE) program. There is a
cmu-tek nntp available, or possible to simply move the netnews files over and
use. or 2) There are becoming available a couple of nntp and rn combinations to
be used with Multinet.(from SRI)
