Actually, I'm reading net news and using NNTP server here on our
Plan 9 system.  However, this is not public now, and needs Release 2
license because it uses Alef which was written by Charles a few
years ago.

I tried to port it to thread library and 9p(2), but was rejected by some
reasons.   The most big one was 9P(2) which was too difficult to
understand it deep.   Furthermore, I'm now doing another project.  
If someone will try it, s/he will get good understanding and skill  
to deal with database  and 9P file service protocol on Plan 9.
