- I have obtained and compiled the CNews from May 92 with limited difficulty.
- My question is how do I get NetNews? Via NNTP? I have NNTP 1.5.11 and
- have been using it as a client side, but would like to have the actual news
- files/articles sit on my machine. Do I build the server side and then get
- someone to agree to give me the news? Once all my software is setup
- (whatever that means), how would I locate someone to feed me news (someone
- other than the sites that I have been using with my client side NNTP)?
-
- Is there a guide that describes the questions that I have asked? I have
- the _Installing_and_Operating_"C_News"_ Network_News_Software_ but it
- doesn't seem to describe how the get the news (other than a description
- terse description of the ihave/sendme protocol). Is it in there and I have
- missed it?
-
- Are there entities out there that "filter" news? That is, prevent the
- distribution of certain "undesirable" newsgroups (only a few spring to mind).
-
- Any info would be greatly appreciated.
