I've not had much need to run an NNTP proxy (or cache) for a while. But when I did, I seemed to have the best luck with 'nntpcache'. Was non-free (and probably still is; restrictions on 'commercial use') but had source and a rather responsive author. On the other hand, if you simply need to proxy your NNTP connection (due to firewalling/etc), you can probably wrap through a SOCKS proxy. I've had pretty good luck socksify'ing pan at least. -- Ferret -- Support your government, give Echelon / Carnivore something to parse -- classfield top-secret government restricted data information project CIA Microsoft terrorist Allah Natasha Gregori destroy destruct attack will own Bill Gates sensitive directorate TSP NSTD ORD DD2-N AMTAS STRAP warrior-T --------------------------------------------------------------------------
