Summary: 

I've been looking (in my copious free time) at the problems of running a
distributed news system (specifically on a 4.2 system, but looking for a
generic answer to LAN's) for a while. I haven't made too much headway, but
I'd be interested in discussing this further with interested parties. We
may have enough going to set up a mailing list to try to put together a
design and perhaps in implementation. This is definitely going to be of
growing importance-- I don't want to slog megabytes of news all over my
ethernet and I don't want people forced to rlogin to the vax for their
news.

If you are interested, drop me a line.
