  Can you tell me where I can get nntp ports files. On the
  http://www.FreeBSD.org. I tried several times to download the description
  for C News and NNTP transport but never success. I don't know whether
  ports files is that or not. If it is, can you mail it to me please? Also
  is this compile will generate the file named "nntpsend.csh"? Thanks in
  advance.
