We are doing this now.  Thanks to a utility called NNR, written by Paul
Campbell, from the Mitre Corporation.  NNR is in it's beginning stages
but is a *GREAT!* start.  It allows our CMS users to read and post news
from/to the news database which is stored on one of our Unix boxes.  For
more information contact Paul at NNRPROD@mbvm.mitre.org

NNR is a great solution if you have an available newserver and don't have
the 250+ cylinders available that NETNEWS might require.
