- I suppose you already set up C-News or (*shudder* :) B-News, but I'd
- suggest you look into INN 1.2 by Rich Salz. It's a complete news transport
- system based on a central daemon which also does NNTP. It compiles right
- out of the box on 386BSD (provided you don't tell it to use mmap() for the
- active file :) and works like a charm. I have INN up and running on my
- machine at home for nearly 2 months and had no problems up to now.
-
- It's quite likely that INN puts less load on your system than C-News,
- depending on the volume of news you get.
