Do you mean SLURP?.

If so then you need slip to make the connection.  Slurp then looks for 
the appropriate NNTP server using DNS to find it.  THis is independant 
of the physical device that you are talking over.

Cheers

Robin.

If you don't mean slurp what is it that you have got hold of?, is it 
interesting, what does it do?, where can I get it?.
