Package: newsx (1.6-4) [debports]

[ Source:  ]

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.
