Nick, I'm trying to get Usenet gating working correctly.
Have managed to poll a NNTP and can see it's sucked in some groups.

Does the copy of DB I am running behave in the same fashion as the Usenet
Gateway you offer others?

How do I configure users to be able to areafix newsgroups? I can only see
what looks like an area to set up POP3 and SMTP and there are no online or
.txt docs that seem to cover this section.

What should I use for the Index Address? Bit confused by that too.

I'm playing around with it as a possible tool to feed my Mystic BBS systemvs
using your gateway.

Also pondering playing with Vsoup/Soupgate directly... as I know there are a
few others doing this at the moment too.

Thanks, Paul
