I ftped the source code for pcrrn and found that it only supports the EXCELAN
ethernet card.  I have an Ungerman Bass card.  Before I start trying to do the
port myself, has anyone else done this?  Any quirks to look out for?  

Also, there doesn't seem to be any documentation -- just source code and a
couple of help files.  Does any documentation exist (e.g., an overview of
what the pc does and what the news server does and how they communicate)?
I have somewhat of an idea, but would like a more complete understanding.

Just wondering, does anyone use pcrrn over asynch connections (e.g., dialup) by 
using SLIP
or something similar?

Please e-mail and I will post a summary, hopefully from my PC.

Thanks in advance,
