Hello all

[Klarich, Terry]

On my home machine, I installed c-news.  This is a newsfeed program.  It
takes care of presenting and removing old articles.  For news transport, I
use newsx.  It requires no setup on the ISP end.  To them, newsx just looks
like another nntp client.  There is a HOWTO on setting up a small news leaf
node on metalab
.

I usually run ksh on my linux system, when I telnet to my isp now, it says
something like permission denied connection closed, guess they don't offer
shell. They don't offer news groups either. Is there any easy way to get
access to a few news groups in linux without having access to a news
server? Is there news to email services around?
