[...] According to the package report, it should be available in the livecd, bonuscd, and fullusb installers. https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.3/official/report.html It’s been long enough since 1.3 that I’d completely forgotten it was there. But it’s in the package review, too. http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Releases/1.3/Packages#Networking Based on what I found in my other email, it looks like this uses wattcp, but I’ve never used an nntp client on DOS so I never tried this one either. Jim *Aside:* *This is a reminder that when we one day start planning 1.4 (or 2.0, whatever we call it), I think we need to look at what packages we include, and consider dropping some unneeded packages. I’ve tried to start those conversations since the 1.3 release, but maybe I should try again.* ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
