I'm not having any problems (I transfer ~500K articles to other news
systems and have
~450K articles read via NNTP from my news host).  I've made some changes
to NNTP to make
NNTP over DECnet more efficient (which I really need to feed back into
NNTP 1.5.6).

But I don't use ANU-news so I can't commment on it.
