Upon further reflection I came upon quite a bad mistake in the scheme.
I believe that there are very few unix-machines (not to speak of mainframes 
that could run newsreader) in Nepal, so there probably would not be much
demand, unless NTC set up a modem-based newsreading service. That would require
quite a lot more than a simple feeding system (many incoming modems,
complicated billing, customer support, ....... a new computer culture, in a
word). Is there really no newsreaders for ms-dos -machines?
