Description:
NNTPlink is a news transmission client designed to replace nntpxmit. It is
capable of emulating nntpxmit exactly, closely or not at all (IMHO, this is
the best mode of course. :-) Instead of invoking nntpxmit every <n>
minutes you can can start up nntplink once and it will run until killed. It
keeps the connection to the remote NNTP server open, only closing it after
a specified amount of idle time or after a specified number of articles have
been offered to the remote server.
