Plus, in linux there is "fetchnews" that can pull a full copy of the news groups you want automatically, creating a local news server. It comes with package... Mmmm... things have changed... seems to come with "cyrus-imapd" :-? No, its package "leafnode": Packager : http://bugs.opensuse.org URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/leafnode/ Summary : A Leaf Site NNTP Server Description : Leafnode is a small NNTP server for leaf sites without permanent connections to the Internet. It supports a subset of NNTP and is able to automatically fetch the newsgroups the user reads regularly from the ISP's news server. Once you have configured it, and defined a news server to pull from, then news groups are pulled (fetched) as soon as you try to read from a group the next time you run "fetchnews". Quite nice. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
