[comp.windows.ms] NNTP Parser Wanted == Non-Ethernet!

chanel@mensa.usc.edu (chanel summers) (04/09/91)

I'm looking for an MSDOS or Windows application which will allow the reading
and posting of NNTP News items.  I'd like to know if a program exists which
allows the user to download mail items from a remote server (over a standard
modem rather than via Ethernet) and read, reply or post to the groups.
 
I know about WinQVTNet and Snuz but both require a network connection.  I'd
like to find something that works like TapCIS or QuickMail/SLMR.

WinQVT/NET does support SLIP (Serial Line IP). Problem of course is
how does one go about getting a SLIP connection??? Does it work over
a modem? How does SLIP work?

WinQVT/net *REQUIRES* the use of the Clarkson packet drivers.  The
packet drivers support
SLIP (read the packet driver info for more details ... I do not use slip).
