The problem is that the news server of your ISP would have to decide for each _incoming_ article whether it's to feed to your site or not. This is done by writing down the location and/or message ID by their news server whenever a new article is arriving. Later, when you're connecting, their server would use this list to dump the new articles over to your site. I think you could ask their server for a list of new articles and then retrieve them via NNTP (ain't that basically what nntpget is doing?), but INN is not intented to do this. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
