Alex, Are you sure you need a news feed? The news transports like INN and Cnews are for running your own news server. This means that you are becoming a new feed, spooling ALL news (or what you have configured) from another news server. Perhaps you don't need to bother with setting up INN or equivalent. You might also want to think about the band width (and disk space) consumed in doing so. I think you can read news from another public NNTP server without having to set up INN. All you need is a news client. You point the client to that public server and download only the stuff you want to read. This is what most people do. Most people don't set up their own news server for just one person. You should, for example, be able to fire up netscape, edit the preferences for news, and configure that public (external) news server as the default news server. Try running just a news client (reader) and point it to the free NNTP server. -- Doug
