[list.ibmtcp-l] NNTP on VM??

Phil Jensen <JENSEN@FSUAVM.bitnet> (02/26/90)

Does anyone know where I can find a implementation of the Usenet news
services on FAL VM (NNTP et al.)? We are interested in maintaining our
news feed on our VM system since we have much more disk space available there.

P.S. If user client software for the PC or the Mac exists I'm also interested.

We currently run Penn State's NETNEWS package.  It is currently available on
PSUVM's LISTSERVer.  Unfortunately, there is no real-time NNTP interface into
NETNEWS.  Currently we use Queen's University NNTPRCVR package to receive
articles from a Unix machine and batch feed them to NETNEWS.  We then use
SMTP to send articles back to the Unix system.
