  Yes, but do you really want to?  The fact that you were able to post a
message implies that you (probably) already have access to news somewhere.  Is
there any reason why you need to install news locally as well?  And are you
willing to devote the disk space to it?

  I would suggest you start by reading the monthly posting to
news.announce.newusers and news.admin entitled "USENET Software: History and
Sources".  If that posting has already expired at your news site, then you can
wait until it's posted again, or send me E-mail and I'll send you a copy.

  News.newusers.questions is probably the best group for this sort of thing,
since there isn't a newsgroup specifically devoted to rn/rrn (Of course, the
natural question is, "Why not?"  When is someone going to post a CFD for
news.software.rn? :-).
