C News works great with some minor bugs that I need to tune up little more. My nn program (news reader) works great. I think C News is easier for me to install than B news, even I have tried to install both. Before you run build program in C News, have your manual, paper and pen ready and this will ask you alot of question on command, library functions and other environment. Be sure to add rnews in /usr/lib/uucp/Permission and it is found in system adm manual for ix/386. Right now my ix/386 is polling for email and news every hour but incomming call is not working yet. I am using Telebit right now. My fidonet address 1:343/15 and this is VHST modem. You can send email to my house uunet!nwnexus!seaeast!willyp If you are successful with B News, let me know. willy p.s. my company has fast email/news service but it is hard to reply each news because decwrl is so dumb mailer and I need full pathname address to reply. I am using rn at work.
