Install a local newserver package such as leafnode and point gnus at
that server. Your local server can then be configured to periodically
fetch news from and forward your postings to aioe (as well as several
other sources if you wish) and the occasional temporary outage will be
invisible to you (you will even be able to read and post when your
system is off-line). Usenet is a peer-to-peer store-and-forward system.
It is not intended to be used as a centralized client-server system like
the Web.
