- There were several suggestions to this post. But the most obvoius (maybe not
- practicable, I don't know what finish universities policies are), namely using
- uucp for BOTH mail AND news wasn't mentioned. All you need is a uucp 'account'
- on the universities side, a uucp password, a good uucp software (try taylor
- from the archives) and a propper sendmail.cf and off you go! Mail and news will
- work as if you were on the net, just that the responses will be delayed.
