Propoganda? Sure... Great, but that's not what I'm looking for. I want something simple that someone who wants to use their regular telecomm program, like Procomm or Telix, can use to pick up news and read it. There are a lot of people to whom the addition of one more program is unthinkable. Not having used FSUUCP, you may have the greatest install in the world and there's absolutely no debugging involved. Maybe. But I'd bet large sums of money that it takes a couple of hours of work to get things going. Thanks for the info, but I'm looking for something that's a lot more casual than setting up a full-blown UUCP site.
