Brierley" To: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Looking for small newsfeed Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I run a small ISP located in Rhode Island (east coast) and I just had my old newsfeed site pulled out from underneath me. Can someone please help me? We currently only have a handfull of customers that want to access news so I had been running a caching proxy server on one of my machines and I would like to be able to continue doing that. This makes me look like a single interactive user to your server. Before you say "contact your service provider" and get them to give you a feed, they are the ones that yanked my feed on me. They are willing to give me a full blown feed using nntp batching, but they don't want to allow the interactive stuff that the proxy server was using. I don't want the full blown feed because I don't want news to chew up all of my available bandwidth, not to mention all of my disk space. -- David H.
