NNTP is cool, especially if you use UUCP or NNNCP[1] as a transport

mechanism for offline relaying. I favor Eternal September[2] as the

news provider of choice since it's text groups only - no NZB warez.

Has anyone written any documentation on setting up a Usenet-like networkover NNCP? I.e., one that syncs news spools usable by either localnewsreaders or NNTP servers? Someone pointed me at NNCP a while ago, butI wasn't able to find that kind of documentation, so didn't really havea use case.
