The standard 'B' news software works well under AIX.  I'm at patchlevel
14 and AIX version 2.2.  The new BNU uucp supports both TCP and serial
uucp connections.  My news feed is through one of the builtin ports 
( the 4port async card works too ) at 19200 from a Telebit TB+ modem.
I forward netnews via the TB+ and also via an ethernet TCP connection
to some machines that run 4.3bsd. The tcp 'e' and 't' protocols are
supported as well as 'g'. 

Note: BNU uucp is new with AIX 2.2.  Prior releases did not support tcp
based uucp connections.  I never tried a non-hayes modem with prior
releases either.
