I have tried Alex Schnitman's but it doesn't seem to work. It compiles but when I try to run it it connects to the news server and then times out without doing anything. I am looking for something that can run on my FreeBSD 3.2 system and will connect to a news server on another system to do a news2mail function. I don't want all the overhead of running inn or cnews. I just want to provide a service for people who only have email access to the internet the ability to receive one or two newsgroups of my choosing. Has anyone had any success with Alex's news2mail on FreeBSD? TIA Terry Todd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
