I believe that NOTES (DECUServe) and NEWS serve two slightly different
modes of dealing with the flow of information.  Both are slightly
difficient in my mind, but not having the time/$ to invent the "ultimate"
solution - I suggest that NEWS to NOTEs and NOTES to NEWS gateways might be
the best answer.  I hear that DEC has such beasts inside and I have
actually seen one work (well, sort of work - some important configuration
information was apparently hard coded).  Along with mail-based file servers
for those who can't do FTP, this would seem to be the best of all worlds.
