As a Wisconsin resident, I take offense to that!!!!!

Yes. I am planning to do the NNTP one.
For those who are not in-the-know, I have spent the past month or so
working on an even bigger, badder news box: newsfeeds.sol.net. This
box is a supercharged news engine, and one of my goals in building it
is to document how to really build a news server from hell.
I just barely started the Web pages today (http://www.nntp.sol.net),
but won't actually start talking about hw/sw until I get some more
good stuff put together.
More soon. I've just been so busy putting it together and arranging
for feeds... :-)
... Joe
