Usenet and CNet

[Tom Watt]

I am thinking of running a Usenet server on a PowerMac G4, and I got to
thinking of UAE and CNet. Just curious, will UAE run CNet well in a
Mac? Will CNet work as a Usenet server? If so what kind of
limitations does it have?

Thanks,

Tom

You mean as a newsgroup server? As far as I know, CNet will not work as
a newsgroup server. However it can be used for reading newsgroups. Of
course, it requires a server that doesn't require a login. Its why I
don't have newsgroups on my system right now.

I think it will work. You need the last Version of TaylorUUCP for the Amiga
and as Filesystem SFS.
IMO FFS crashes often by UUCP Spooling.

Well I thought CNet had a NNTP server, since it doesn't I wont be using
it for that :)

Thanks,

Nope, it only has an NNTP client.
