- Actually, it probably wouldn't be too hard! Daniel Dallmann has

- NNTP server wouldn't be that difficult to write.

- The problem with Mr. Dallmann's program is that it requires either
- a Swiftlink or compat. ACIA at $DE00 or a custom user port cable designed
- by him. The TCP/IP stack that I'm [slowly] working on uses the built-in
- [SLOOOOOW!] RS-232 routines so everyone who has access to a SLIP account
- or Shell account with SLIrP or TIA can try it out without additional
- hardware...
