I guess it's been longer than I had realized since we switched from local news to outsourcing.

When I last evaluated these, diablo was (I believe) either not capable of supporting readers or something else threw it out of the running....

I'd love to try something the likes of nntpcache, but hopefully something that works better than nntpcache did a couple of years ago. - Forrest W.
