In-reply-to: Your message of "Wed, 14 Jun 1995 19:44:39 +0200." <199506141744.KAA11234@exit.com> Date: Thu, 15 Jun 1995 19:30:30 +0200 From: Julian Howard Stacey Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Thank You all the many people who answered my query about which news transfer software to use for my small leaf node serial tcp/ip host. I'm still digesting all the replies ... perhaps we should have a mini FAQ or ports/news/README for this ? In the tradition of the net, as I asked the question, I'm supposed to post a summary (if requested), however, as there seem to be loads of knowledgeable people out there, I'd feel pretty daft summarising this topic. Would a short ports/news/README be good to have ? Should I write it, or could someone more news knowledgeable (not hard ;-) jot a few lines down ? Thanks All :-) Julian S
