Thanks for your answer. NNTPXFER is a client software. It will call another News server to pull the News. Since I missed nntpxfer, our news server can not call our internet server provider NetCom's news server. What we can do is waiting for the News server from NetCom call us. I asked NetCom and the answer from NetCom was that NetCom provides both methods: Xfer (nntpxfer) and Xmit (nntpxmit). Actually PSI only provides Xfer method for C News (http://www.support.psi.net:80/iservices/) that means it definitely requires nntpxfer if you are the PSI customer and if you try to use C News. Can you recompile or can you simply put in somewhere so I can download nntpxfer and maybe some related files. Thanks again.
