It has some nice features in that it can watch what groups people are reading and either start or stop fetching that group depending on whether people are or are not reading it... It states right up front though that it's not meant for a lot of users and/or groups. I run it on a P133/64ram for an office of 7 where I think I'm the only reading news regularly in about 5 groups (freebsd/www/unix stuff). works great for us. -philip In article , Carlton Haycock wrote: > >Anyone have any recommendations on which nntp news server to run as >there appear to be several in the ports/packages collection. > >Thanks, >Carlton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
