For sometime I have been trying to get a newsfeed to work over the janet
network using colour book protocols.  But now it seems that the necessary
support for a news feed hasnt been compiled into the version of colour
book software that we have.

What I was wondering, having reached this dead end, is how do sites with x25
connections get news?  Maybe they dont....

Could I use uucp?  As I understand it, uucp will work over almost any serial
connection and I can get a x29 connection to the newsfeed site.
And now I can't use rn on nyx either, so please post any answers direct via
email.
Thanks,
