I have some naive questions I hope some one can answer: What is nntp? Where can I get it? What is it used for? I originally thought that it was a way to remotely read news. The nntp server would do all the prefrobnicating and such and only ship to the client the wanted articles. It appears that it does a lot more. I also thought it was something special but I suspect it might be what normally moves the news? I currently use GNU emacs rnews. I would like some of the features of gnus but I am not sure how to configure it to work. It seems to want a nntp server or something. I think there is a way to run it directly on the spool files but I don't know how to make it do so. I work on a network of Suns, with two central cross mounted servers. Thanks...
