All information is not replicated, messages are only replicated to servers where there are users who are recipients of them, as e-mail or as conference members. Different from SuperKOM is that if a user asks for a message which has been purged from the data base of that server, KOM can get the message from its original server. Messages can however also be cached locally at servers where they are frequently accessed. Conferences are normally presented with presentation messages in one or more other conferences. To make information about a conference known at other servers, so that their users can join the conference, you just need to send the conference presentation to a conference which is replicated to that server.
All information is stored in the server, and only cached temporarily in the client during execution.
Storage of downloaded messages in the client, to allow off-line reading. Full Usenet News newsreader functionality. Support for downloading Listserv distribution lists to KOM conferences without manual intervention. Support for multi-language conferences. Entries can be entered in one of several languages.
