I'm a Cnews (performance release) site, not on the internet and I haven't
got nntp set up.

I've got an internal site here (electra), which is on a different subnet, but
they want a newsfeed.  I cannot do an rsh to them, or use NFS.

What is the best way to get news to them?  Currently, I'm feeding them using
the following line in my batchparms:
athene      3000000 100     batcher compb   viamail

(Athene is the bridge machine, and it has a mail alias to forward mail to
enews on to electra, where it is piped through recenews)

Is there a better way of doing this?

Not an obvious one.  You've got to ship them the stuff *somehow*.  The
usual way of doing it over TCP/IP is with NNTP, with a minority using
UUCP over TCP.  If you're not willing to put either of those up, the
obvious transmission channel is mail.  It's a bit inelegant, but it works.

Has anyone developed a 'ftpxfer' kind of program to transfer batches
via FTP ? Yes,,, sounds simple enough but would be nice if someone
has already thought about the link-down, xfer checks and all that...
