Newsx is an NNTP client for Unix. It will connect to a remote NNTP server and
|
|
|
|
|
post outgoing articles batched by the news system, as well as fetch incoming
|
|
|
|
|
articles.

|
It provides the NNTP capabilities required for small local news spools on
|
|
|
|
|
installations with NNTP access only through limited ISP accounts. It works well
|
|
|
|
|
via a dialup SLIP/PPP connection.

Newsx is also well suited for large spools with normal feeds, being used for
|
|
|
|
|
pulling newsgroups from specific NNTP servers that are not distributed in the
|
|
|
|
|
usual manner. Since newsx obeys the normal news spool configuration file and
|
|
|
|
|
requires little or no specific configuration, the administrative burden should

be minimized.
