They/we will not run -current) You'll find that if you just use a machine for news (INN), it will work quite well with 2.0R. I've got a 2.0R machine running news that I've never had a problem with. Just don't try to use it as a FTP server.... As for 1.1.5.1 "stability patches"...these may refer to the patches on ref.tfs.com, but I don't think any of these would particular affect a news machine.... Tom
