If a site was going to try to bring up a fresh new news installation, BUT they are currently running a very old version of B News (version x.y.z) AND it isnt quite working right anyways... where should they start? If a site just blows away the active and history files, then users will get bent all out of shape. If they dont, will things not get pretty messed up? Some other data points: This is a MicroVax running Ultrix 2.2 right now. The news is then NNTP'd on a LAN which is restricted to a few local ether segments. Which News software - B, C, or 3.0, would be best to run on a MicroVax with approx. 300 or more NNTP users running against it? It currently gets batches in over a modem, but Ethernet delivery is likely to appear in the future. -- Larry W.
