- Solbourne Series 5/601 with OS/MP 4.0C (SunOS 4.0.3c compatible) (Same BNEWS)

-
- P.P.P.S. The next version of nntp is supposed to be 1.6. This version will have
- a new way of configuring everything based on Larry Wall's meta-configure. It
- may have bug fixes and enhancements as well. There has been alot of chatter
- about authentication. I am going to look into that, but no promises at this
- time.
