Nope. NNTP depends upon "article numbers" which are an artifact of the news "database". Notes doesn't have article numbers, and they would have to be added in order to implement NNTP. I doubt that anyone has done it. I am interested in Notes because of its access permissions facility. Then don't use NNTP, because NNTP can't tell you who the client user is, so there is no way to do access permissions. Apparently there is a version of NNTP that uses the Kerberous authentication system, but that is definately non-standard and not yet available. wunder
