It will connect to a remote NNTP +server and post outgoing articles batched by the news system, as well as +fetch incoming articles. + +It provides the NNTP capabilities required for small local news spools +on installations with NNTP access only through limited ISP accounts. It +works well via a dialup SLIP/PPP connection. + +Newsx is also well suited for large spools with normal feeds, being +used for pulling newsgroups from specific NNTP servers that are not +distributed in the usual manner. Since newsx obeys the normal news spool +configuration file and requires little or no specific configuration, the +administrative burden should be minimized. + +WWW: http://www.kvaleberg.com/newsx.html + +- Ben Smithurst + <ben@FreeBSD.org> |
