DNews is faster and more reliable than ANY other unix solution (inn, nns)
and it uses almost nothing in terms of processor time. Check out
http://netwinsite.com for more info. It is available for NT, Mac, OS2, and
many different flavors of unix. Microsoft's Internet News server works
well, but it still needs some work and is only available for NT 4.0
