OK, folks - here's my situation: I connect at home via RCN, which seems to work for me. However, I do most of my work (and non-work) at the office, which does not use RCN. Part of this non-work involves reading certain Usenet groups. This means that, in order to both read these groups and maintain a sane read/not-read list from work AND home, I need to ssh into my home machine and use a reaser on that machine. I know that fetchmail will allow a user to grab mail from a non-local mail server and store it locally via the local MTA. I'm looking for something similar for newsgroups. What I'd like is something I can run on my home system that will fetch all articles from a few groups and store them locally. Then I could connect to MY server using client software on my work PC (or elsewhere) and maintain the same .newsrc file. Being able to post through this would be a plus. I don't want to get into a situation where I need to start paying for a direct news feed to set up my own node. All I want to do is create a downstream of my ISP's existing server, and pull from/post to that. Any ideas? Thanks, -Don
