Newsx is an NNTP client for Unix. 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.
