I am connected to an ISP and can get news via Free Agent under Windows and trn under unix but I want to get the news delivered to my unix box at night so that I can read it during the day. I seem to have inn setup correctly, and when I run ppp, login and run rc.news, inn says it is connecting to the ISP and then nothing happens. I have spoken with the ISP and they say that they have to configure their end to send me news and that there is an extra charge for this because of the amount of work involved. I have been able to pull news from their system, using nntpget (i think), and would like to know if there is a way to get inn to get the news from them without an additional charge. My current newsfeed entry for them is; communique\ : !junk,!local\ : TC,Wnm: /usr/local/news/bin/nntpget -v -o news.communique.net Any help with be appreceated. Regards, Mark Seiffert
