- First I'd like to know what a NNTP server is and what it does and how
- it differs from a 'spool'. Knowing these things might help with my
- next problem which is this. I use GNUS 3.14.1 and I love it. However,
- I'm the only student around here that does so it isn't supported at
- all. I can use GNUS on one of our machines that happens to be the
- machine which mounts our news server up in New Bruswich( clam mounts
- bobwebber for those of you keeping score). This is done with nfs I'd
- assume. Clam also serves as a nfs file sharer to a host of sparc
- stations on campus and I want to use gnus from those machines. I've
- set NNTPSERVER and setq gnus-nntp-service but still, when I run GNUS
- on a machine other than clam, I'll see the message Host:
- "clam.rutgers.edu" not responding. I'd appreciate any help you can
- give me so that once I get it running everywhere, I can enlighten the
- others.
