[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Query: NNTP News Reader for PC

wall@campus.swarthmore.edu (Matthew Wall) (05/16/91)

We are transferring our campus network services from a centralized hub to a
distributed arrangement over a number of unix-based servers. We have a
primarily
Macintosh environment, and have found appropriate MAIL and NetNews interfaces
for the Macs.

What I'm looking for now is information on an NNTP newsreader program for the
PC, preferably one with a built-in TCP driver. This is to be run on clients
connected via both Appletalk-IP gateways and a few directly on ethernet. Free
or shareware, of course, would be greatly preferred, but any insight or advice
on any version of such a program would be welcome.

Most of the PCs in question are AT-class machines with 640k; we also have
about a dozen model 30s and model 50s.

Thanks in advance...
