Is there any way you could get them through another board, kinda like the fido feed we have?

if you are running OS/2 and Jason Fesler's GIGO, then you can also use souper to pull the news into .BAG files for GIGO to gate to fido echomail format and then your regular tosser to toss them just like echomail... if you have a NNTP feed (pushed to you) and a fulltime connection, the GIGOSMTP package has a NNTPD in it that you run just like you would the SMTPD...

i use this stuff but not the newsgroup stuff... been gating email feeds for quite a while... there are three readonly OS2 echos that i gate into fidonet from yahoogroups... i also have the ability to pull news from a german (IIRC) news server but can't allow any of my users to post via that path... most news feeds, these days, require you to pull the news and many are set up for one user usage...

you'd have to talk with whomever you decide to go with as your feed to find out
if you can let your users post to those groups you get... supernews is one that
comes to mind... most are also commercial ventures due to the large volume of traffic... of course, there are also the private newsservers like what microsoft runs... again, without talking to them to find out for sure, i don't know that your users can post back...

so, basically, what we end up with is a majority of oneway gating... pull the news in and post it to the echo and then the users can chat in the echo about all of it but those posts they write don't get back out to the group...

dunno of this helps or not... maybe in some little way, it does...

I have one, but you have to use OS/2 and Squish...

You can also join WorldNet, which is a network that solely gates NNTP <-> FTN... contact Michael Grant (1:134/10) about it. ;)

Now I use SoupGate. Before SoupGate I was using NewsGate. Both for Windows.

You can also join SkyNet, in that network you'll find a gateway between UseNet
and FTN.

Not sure if there is or not. I'm looking around at my options right now. If push comes to shove I may have to drop the feature on my system.

i don't see why not... its been working like that for years... in any case, its
possible that you may be able to pull from your ISP and provide gated write access to your users... otherwise, you're most likely going to have to go for a
commercial solution...

Thanks Michael,
I've tried to contact you but the email address I had wasn't the right one and my Fido nodelist needs to be updated.

Hi Joe. Long time since I saw you floating around here.
My dialup/mailer node is run in a dos window using binkley v2.50 (dos version). I was getting them from a uucp account via ftp connection.

Hi Kevin,
That was my original post needing newsgroups. Did you mean a list of newsgroups I carry/carried?
