My first step was to upgrade my version of INN on my Linux box. Then, lo and behold, there on ISC's ftp site is a little file called newsgate.tar.Z. The second paragraph in the README from this mysterious file is this: With these programs and the right set of mail aliases and news sys and active file entries, it is possible to build any set of moderated, unmoderated, one-way, or bi-directional gateways between any set of news and mail groups and lists that your little heart desires. I'll set it up and further see how well it works. I would offer to do it, but I don't think my little modem would handle too much traffic. So, is there anyone willing to donate a little bandwidth/cpuage to start a private newsgroup mirror? For any interested, the url is ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/inn/contrib/newsgate.tar.Z - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
