- rfmail is supposed to work fine, albiet somewhat on the primative side.
- I've seen it in action elsewhere, though not under Linux yet. Since
- there
- are binaries of rfmail distributed around though I assume it works.
- Binkley for Unix (unlike it's DOS, Atari ST, and OS/2 flavors)
- is early alpha, so I don't know if I should reccomend it unless
- you plan to do alot of recoding to get it to be more stable.
-
- You'll need at least part of rfmail or a package called RFC converter
- (maybe the same thing) in order to make FidoNet packets toss to
- a newsgroup format in order to read them with a Usenet newsreader.
-
- One of these days I'll get ahold of it, unfortunately it was ported
- after I left the DC metro area, so the only (outdated) source of
- Linux files around here is myself. :-) BTW, what has changed
- since version 0.96c?
