Ahhh, I see.  So the standard inews doesn't compile?

Not overpriced, when I say Sun I mean an old one, one of the ones no longer
made, Sparc2, IPC, IPX, LX, Classic, etc..  (although NetBSD will only run
on a Sparc2, and IPX (dunno about IPC) as the others use a different
processor.  These can be had quite cheap, if you can find them.
