I can't say *that* exactly, but C News does run just fine on 286s, although
relaynews and expire reportedly have to be compiled large-model.  At least
some of the folks who have tried such ports have reported "no serious
trouble".  I can't comment on your particular system, because we long ago
stopped keeping track of all the different systems our stuff is used on.
