** "usenet/NNTP" of May 10, 2003 by Dennis Collins addressed to
"All" **
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DC> ...looking for a fully automatic way (event from FrontDoor) to logon
DC> to my ISP and download selected usenet groups.  This MUST be a DOS
DC> program...  A fellow sysop mentioned that IREX could do this...  but
DC> could not tell me how it can be done the Irex docs also don't give
DC> any info on setting up for NNTP.  I tried NETTAMER but it does not
DC> support fully automatic operation and did also try NEWSGATE on the
DC> Internet system however this has the drawback that the bbs system
DC> then has to have network support to talk to the internet system,
DC> another software package that was tried was KA9Q but for some reason
DC> when I changed ISP's it refused to connect to port 119.

                                     Salutations,
