Description: An NNTP client for posting and fetching news
NewsX is an NNTP client for Unix. It will connect to a remote NNTP server
and post outgoing articles batched by the news system, as well as fetch
incoming articles.
.
It provides the NNTP capabilities required for small local news spools on
installations with NNTP access only through limited ISP accounts. It works
well via a dialup SLIP/PPP connection.
.
It seems to be faster than using suck over a modem link.
