I heard someone was developing such a program and wonder if such has been release to the archives at all? Also, do these programs run on the fido machines to allow them to read uucp news from the unix machine, or do they run on the unix machine to let the fido node be convinced the unix machine is just another node? I ask this question because I run SCO Xenix 286 and would really like to get some of the PC/Amiga/Mac/Atari users who read news off into another Fido board and free up my phone lines for Unix users (they are almost always busy). If I could forward, for example, comp.sys.amiga, to fido echo in the area then I would avoid alot of the traffic and place the users back in an evironment they are used to as well.
