Since there has been considerable discussion of FreeBSD and news lately, I thought I would ask my question of the forum to see if I can get an answer. I used to use the 'slurp' package (with a 'u' not an 'i') to do NEWNEWS commands on my ISPs newserver and inject the news into my local system... However, my ISP decided NEWNEWS was consuming too many server cycles, and decided to disallow it. Does someone have suggestions for an alternative method which will fetch new news articles (based on a timestamp and a list of newsgroups) and inject them into a local news server? - Thanks - - Dave Rivers -
