If you have a news-server available, listproc has gateway support
built-in.

In addition, since it creates IETF/internet-style mailing list headers
(as opposed to bitnet-type headers that L-Soft Listserv/Revised Listserv
uses), you can use Rich Salz's newsgate package.

There's an older version available in the alt.sources archives, if you
write to Rich (rsalz@uunet.uu.net) he can send you the newest version
of newsgate.

This is not correct. ListProc 6.0c creates headers which are similar to the
"bitnet-type" ones, and the license agreement prohibits you from changing this
(although I'll concede that I don't know the details). LISTSERV on the other
hand gives you a choice between 6 header types, including IETF, on a per-user
basis with a per-list default. I run a number of LISTSERV lists which are
gatewayed by a local unix box (I don't run NETNEWS). I don't know what software
is being used, but the person who runs the box said it was "standard" and
"nothing special" had to be configured.
