[comp.sys.amiga.datacomm] UUCP/NEWS

eww@engr.ucf.edu (Mr. Eric W. Wampner) (02/05/91)

Okay, as far as I can tell.
there are about a billion different UUCP packages out there,
and after perusing/seeing/reading at least some of them, 
I find myself dazed and confused. I do notice that there is
at least one lacking area, and that being NNTP type software.
Is there any such available? It might actually be easier for me to
go a Dial Up Slip way than to UUCP, The KA9Q package says
it supports Slip, with NOS etc, and there was apost that at least
the standard  version did NNTP, Does the current release? I know
that it is available on thumper.bellcore.com, but I just finished
playing with UUCP1.08D, am going to start on Cnews, and trying to
arrange for at least one phone line to be available for my use.

Any reviews would be appreciated.

Okay, Mail problems, well, don't even try it, cause my system
HATES UUCP, which is one reason I am trying to stay away from it,
if possibel, so Frank Edwards, I saw your post, but couldn't
respond, note the addresses in the sig, they should (:->) work.
