Summary: What does it take to read "news" on Xenix?


Hello:

Does SCO 286 Xenix 2.2.1 come with software that will allow me to read 
news?

What is it?  How well do it work?

How much disk space will I need to run it, including my daily news feed?

What is the best kind of modem for this application (BAUD rate, 
compatibility)?

How do I go about getting a feed from someone?  What do I have to do
to get this feed (pay$ ?)?

Has anybody done this and how hard is it to set up???

Any suggestions or experience is welcome.


Thanks!
