I didn't know one could tell Gnus to read news over ssh | like that. But that wouldn't work if I want to read news while | entirely disconnected, right? No, you would use the Agent to snarf news from your leafnode server using an appropriate connection mechanism. The reason I did it it my way is because my primary news server is one of the MediaOne servers, and it can only be accessed from a neighborhood local to it. If you are using one of the commercial servers like newsguy (highly recomended) or supernews (not highly recomended at all) then running leafnode on your notebook might be a better choice. Note that leafnode has no problems sucking news off newsguy; I use them as my "secondary" server because while the MediaOne server is fast, it is incomplete. -- Rat \ If Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, get Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ away immediately.
