Apologies if this is the wrong newsgroup for this posting...

We have just brought up the news system on an 8 user uVAX.
Unfortunately we have a fair sized user community who would
like access to it, and an 8 user machine is not suitable.

Are there programs out there which will run as daemons on the
news machine, and allow individuals on remote machines (Ethernet/
TCP/IP) to connect and read the news through a socket?

I'm sure there must be somewhere.
I'd be most grateful if anyone can advise (preferably with pointers
as to how to obtain source code).

Thanks in advance.
