Most of the news howto explains setting up a whole local news service (NNTP server). Trn looks decent: http://trn.sourceforge.net/ Check these out: http://www.indiana.edu/~ucspubs/b087/z087.html http://support.uchicago.edu/docs/unix/trn/ Binaries of trn are available for slackware and redhat (and probably every other major linux distro). But as usual there are many choices http://www.newsreaders.com/unix/clients.html http://www.helpdesk.umd.edu/systems/wam/connectivity/labs/1216/ Each reader should allow you to specify the nntp server somewhere in its config, look for that and set it up for the public nntp server that you found. -- Doug
