Thanks to those that replied.  While I didn't get much concrete responses,
everyone running INN now wouldn't go back to C-News+NNTP, and that their
news service was much better in their environment.

One person somewhere in news.software.* commented that INN core requirements
could be cut by removing the dbz_incore() call, at the cost of more disk I/O.
In our case this won't be necessary, but it's an option for non-dedicated
machines.

I have one site that will need to change their software, or have me feed
articles to them rather than grabbing them via nntpxfer.  The change is
trivial (send a MODE READER, and check for a 200/201 response code).

My fingers are crossed that the IPC will arrive before Thanksgiving, then
inn.ysu.edu will be running alongside news.ysu.edu for about a month (my
newsfeeds needn't be concerned about this, it'll be moving to news.ysu.edu
when we retire the wretched NCR).  I'm not sure about running nntplink,
I may just run innxmit (just cuz I can shovel news fast doesn't mean I
*have* to).
