- >My question is how do I get NetNews? Via NNTP?
-
- You can get netnews by several means, the most popular being uucp and
- nntp.
-
- >it doesn't seem to describe how the get the news
-
- Hmm, an interesting oversight; I guess some discussion of this issue
- should be added. In the old days, you found a site that was willing to
- feed you, though the usual informal means (talking to your local peers,
- etc.). That's getting harder as netnews volume increases, but you can
- always buy a news feed from the various commercial network service
- providers, notably PSI and UUNET.
-
- PSI can apparently be reached at +1 703 620 6651 or info@psi.com.
-
- UUNET can be reached at +1 800 4UUNET4, +1 703 204 8000 or
- info@uunet.uu.net.
