------- Sorry if this is a FAQ. I want to get News from my Unix environment to a remote Novell network. This would mean that I would have to have a remote login via modem to that site, transfer the News there into a file of some format. The users on the Novell side would then need some way of reading this news (posting is not important). Does anybody now of such a package public domain, shareware or commercial? Cheers and Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Neil Viljoen | Tel: +44-223-334688 Univ. of Cambridge | Fax: +44-223-334678 Computer Laboratory | Pembroke Street | Email: jnv@cl.cam.ac.uk Cambridge CB2 3QG | England |

You could use the public-domain SOSS package, running on a dedicated DOS system, to make the file transfers run fairly easily. You'd set up a Novell filesystem as the target directory for Unix netnews, and run some sort of reader program on those files (I think there is such software available under DOS). For netnews, SOSS' performance will probably be quite adequate, and you don't need advanced file protection features. Alternatively, you can get NFS from Novell and add it to your server. You'd then do things exactly the same way. -rich
