Xrefnews is fine if used on local (free) telephone lines.  On long
distance lines, however, it would be very important to be able to batch
and compress the news.  As fas as I know xrefnews has nothing to support
that.  So xrefnews saves the disk space of our server by increases our
phone bill by at least 50% each month.  Any *real* solutions to the
problem out there?
