Yes - that work has been done - you'll need to recompile the sources with
MULTINET #defined (which is done automatically by running NEWSBUILD), and that
should be all there is to it.
     
The folks at TGV will be sending me a copy of Multinet real soon to allow me to
work on multinet support at first hand. This means that future version of NEWS
will have possibly better support for Multinet - in particular I am very
interested in providing a multi-threaded nntp server over multinet allowing a
single VMS process to service a number of remote NNTP clients simultaneously.
     
cheers,
