- Our current news server, a Sun 690MP system, is not performing
- satisfactorily as both a general use timesharing system and as our campus
- news server (we use nntp and c-news). Is anyone using a DECstation
- 5000/200 (or 240 for that matter) as a news server? We have about 7 or 8
- sites off campus that we have bi-directional feeds with, and we typically
- have 5-20 nntpd daemons running for people on campus reading news. The
- people reading news are using trn, xrn or nn on Unix systems, some Mac
- newsreader I can't remember the name of, and trumpet on PCs.
-
- I'd be interested to hear any reports of using a DECstation as a news
- server, as well as any problems compiling the software listed above.
-
- We have to move news somewhere other than the 690 as the complaints from
- both the 690 users and the people reading news are getting very loud.
