[comp.sys.apollo] Mail and News...

Anyone know where I can get a copy of the news sources that will build
on the Apollo (or already built...)  If I'm setting up a new news site
(and I am) what version of news software should I start with? (B? C?
What are B-News and C-News anyway?  What about NNTP?  What's that?)  I
have heard that I should get and use 'trn' and not 'rn' for a news
reader but I haven't a clue on the news transport software.

Oh yea...  I'll also want to exchange news with SUN systems so if one
source fit's all, that would be good.  (I can then give it to the SUN
administrator for him to build.)  If I can get the software from UUNET
that's a plus (Since I already pay them to deliver my mail, I get
archive access for free...)

Thanks,
Philip
