If your are almost all NNTP, and don't do lots of outgoing UUCP you will
probably prefer INN.  My opinion.  I have never run C News, I have never
had a single 56Kb line, I have had lots of experience with the NNTP
reference implementation and protocol definition.

Since it uses the standard NNTP protocol, it doesn't matter.  Just like
sendmail, MMDF, Zmailer, Smail3, etc., can all interoperate.

Well, I'm a fairly modest guy, but the list I gave implied that it was
faster and easier to maintain (I bet 95%+ of the people who have installed
INN will agree with those claims).  In my mind, that's two of the three
reasons to switch.  (The third reason is features, and INN has a few
nice ones, but nothing earth-shattering.)

You're planning now for the summer?  Wow, I am impressed.  Nay, amazed.
