First of all, reading the docs raises a couple of questions, under the NNTP node it says: "The following variables can be used to create a virtual `nntp'server:" the problem is.. how do I use them? Secondly: The problem is that when I try to rsh -l , I get: Protocol error, closed connection, probably something with our firewall. It would be nice if telnet could be used for us people who are less worried about our passwords. And BTW, are there any work done on a mail backend using this technique? Would be nice ;-) Hey why not incorporate our mailboxes to the newsspool.. send a create message to the closest server for alt.mail.flognat@... ;-) Naah.. /Andy
