   I've used TRUMPET news reader at work for a long time where I have
direct access to the worldwide Internet, thus I can access any news
server of my choosing on the net.

   I am also attempting to use TRUMPET from my home via dial up SLIP
protocol to a terminal server at work. Unfortunately, the terminal server
only allows access to in-house computers, thus I'm stuck with a news server
that has a very limited subset of news groups. So....... the question is:

   Are there any public access SLIP servers that would allow access to all
of the Internet? Is it Telnet-able to? That is, one scenario for me might be
to dial and login to a mainframe at work, Telnet to a SLIP server, then enter
SLIP mode with TRUMPET and access my favorite news server.

  Is this at all possible?    (I'm new to SLIP, so forgive my naivete')

Hi,

Not true.  CompuServe does not have Usenet News access directly, though
some of the groups are forwarded in via a mailing list.

Now if you'd like to see news on CompuServe, send a note off to feedback.

Problem:

How to get xrn to print to a site-specific printer?

Generalities;

I'm having difficulty getting xrn 6.17 to print.  The command line switch
'-printCommand' doesn't seem to work (or I'm not using it correctly).

What I want to do is direct printing to a specific printer, for example
'csd_draft'.  Wouldn't this mean that the command line should be passed the
folowing;

-printCommand lpr -Pcsd_draft

But of course this doesn't do the trick.

I'll bet someone out there knows how to control xrn printing either by
passing a command-line switch or via .Xdefaults.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions...

Too bad -- that is often the easiest way.  Some other alternatives:
	Make the newsgroup moderated and have the moderator's address
	be the mailing list's address.

	Have the incoming mail-->news build a Path line that has
	a specific dummy host (e.g., "gateway") in it, and put

The IETF working group on NNTP is working on this; the current draft has
some mechanism for doing this.  You can pick up the latest draft from
turbo.bio.net, ietf-nntp/draft-nntp-v2-05.PS.  There is a mailing list
although it has been very quiet lately, no doubt because the WG chair
(Eliot Lear) seems to be very busy.  The file messages and group.charter
in the same directory talk about the group.  To join the mailing list,
send mail to ietf-nntp-request@turbo.bio.net;

With all that said, I strongly doubt that INN will ever include official
support for receiving compressed feeds.  (I might modify innxmit so that
it can generate them.)

If you have a single slow line to the Internet, you are probably better
off getting compressed batches over TCP-UUCP and running C News.

To get political and perhaps annoying, INN is designed for the future when
everyone can afford fast links.  (Please note that I know the difference
between a 56kB link and a slow fast pipe; addressing the latter area is
worthwhile as it will become commonplace with gigabit networking.)

You're welcome.  However, if your version of nntpxmit is griping about
Message-ID syntax, it's probably 1.5.11 and the 'n' flag (write the
article location and message-id) is a better choice than the 'F' flag
(write the article location).  If the message-id is in the batch-file
then nntpxmit doesn't need to open the article to determine the message-
id to offer the remote host.  This will make a difference in disk I/O,
particularly if the remote host rejects a lot of what you offer.

Nntpxmit 1.5.11 will definitely gripe about message-id syntax, as you've
found, if you use the 'f' flag (article location and size), which is
more appropriate for batching from sendbatches (UUCP, rsh, etc feeds).

I am running 31 outgoing nntplinks and ~25 incoming nntplinks.  Since zaphod
is my workstation, I'm always worried about performance.  :-)  I average a
load of around 7 during the day -- HOWEVER, my testing proves this to be
due to mthreads (used for keeping a database for trn) and uucp feeds (I'm
feeding three sites with full feeds therefore they are talking to me most
of the time during business hours. :-(  If I kill mthreads, disable uucp
and just use the machine for news my load averages around 2.  If I login
and begin using the machine the load average goes up to 3. (obviously :-)
However, the load average is deceiving since I don't really notice any
slowdown unless mthreads and uucp are running, and then the slowdown isn't
very bad - just annoying.

I guess my final analysis is not to run mthreads (unless you have to, some
of us are addicted to trn and are praying for the day Geoff finishes his
work on consolidating the databases.  :-)  I don't think anyone would notice
INN running (especially with only a few feeds) on their machine.

Right.  This is fixed in patch two, which will be posted in a day or two.

There are two fixes:
	set LOCK_STYLE NONE ; or

The patch will do the second.

The innxmit(8) part of INN failed all the time in a HP machine running
HP-UX 8.0.  It gave the following error message:

Can't lock "/usr/spool/news/out.going/<host>.nntp", Bad file number

The problem appeared to be that innxmit tried to lock a file that was
opened for reading only.  By default, this is not allowed in HP-UX.
(At least if you use lockf(2).)  However, this can be allowed (either
to everybody or just to some group) via HP-UX setprivgrp(1m).  The
patch below adds a call to setprivgrp to "rc.news".

	That's the point.  We are taking about 100 Mb of news a day.
Our customers are reading by NEWNEWS and ARTICLE.  They do not want to
waste the bandwidth pulling the whole of control down, just the control
messages for the groups they read.  This is what they would get with an
active Cnews feed but I cannot see a way of implementing this using
nntp.  Or am I missing something?

If you have perfect duplicate elimination, or nearly so, then the
additional NNTP streams only cost for IHAVEs and not for article
transmission.   Worst case in which you get a full feed offered to you and
you reject it all is going to be (hm, 4K articles, 80 char msgids) maybe
2% overhead?  Plus you get the added benefits of redundancy in case one or
the other feed goes out to lunch.

Some of the better connected sites, in terms of diverse feeds, access to
regional groups, relatively timely delivery etc. are off on "slow" links. 
Surely you don't need a T1 network capable of delivering 12,000 MB/day for
sending "only" 40 or 50 MB...

Currently, I am limited to explicitly writing in all the nodes on campus -
if I wish to control access to such a level - that just isn't practical :-(

It should be;

      for (p = active, i = 0; (active - p) < n && (p = strchr(p, '\n')) != NULL; p++, i++)

Of course, patch1 is much better. ;-)

Thanks, Rich.
