I distribute a VM/CMS implementation of netnews, and it deals properly
with lines > 80 characters.  Since it has hooks for communicating with
other sites, it is up to the local news admin to specify a transport
mechanism that will preserve long lines (and do ASCII/EBCDIC character
translation "properly" if it is necessary).  Two methods that may be
available (depending on software and hardware available at each site)
are SENDFILE and ftp.
