- Howdy Paul,
-
- I would sure like to hear about your experiences with INN.
-
- We use a 5810 as the news nntp server for all of the NASA/JSC campus,
- both feds and contractors. We only have two feed sites, but we can
- have as many as 100 nntp connections during peak reading hour
- (lunch!).
-
- I have INN compiled and ready to go but so far I haven't heard much
- from folks who are using it. I have been impressed with other projects
- that Rich $alz has been envolved with and I have great expectations for
- INN. Just reasure me that jumping in is the right thing!
