OK, not all of us have a network of Suns. I currently have several Xenix
machines that pass newsfeeds over the serial port with uucp. In the near
future we'll be installing ethernet between them and several other machines.
Since Xenix doesn't support NFS, I had planned to dedicate one of the Xenix
boxes as an NNTP server with no actual users, and put all of the users on
other machines to do their thing. News will be read and posted via NNTP.
Does anyone have a better suggestion? I currently have B-news 2.11 but plan
to change to whatever is the latest release of C-news when the big switch
occurs. All of the readers currently use trn. I plan to install nn after
the change.
Thanks for any pointers.
Michael
