  Well, we finally got a copy of News for VMS from ANU. It looks like
a really nice package, unfortunately there are no mechanisms for transfering
news other than NNTP. The software will unbatch Unix news batches, but it
makes no provisions for transfering those news batches to the VMS site.

  In the documentation there are mentions of systems that have mail links
to pure Unix sites. Is there any software that does this VMS MAIL <-> UUCP
communication. Does anyone out there have any software that will
automatically transfer news batches from a pure Unix system to a VMS site ?

  Has anyone ever tried to do this using a kermit server as the transport
mechanism ?
  Is there anything that will let me pick up news on VMS over a LD phone
link ? The ability to post or do mail is not very important, but I'd really
like to receive news on the VMS system....
