I hope this isn't a naive question.

I am looking into integrating netnews under the three major computer
platforms that we use.  So I wonder if anyone has gotten the netnews
applications to work on a VAX VMS.  Or, how other shops have solved
the problem of giving VAX VMS users access to netnews.

Has anyone ported "rrn" to a VAX VMS running tcp/ip?  (This seems to
be doable (is it?), and it would also seem to be an elegant solution - ie,
have the NNTP server running on a Unix platform, and have VAX VMS
users access news via rrn.)

Anyone ported vnews, or postnews to the VAX (VMS)?
