NNTPlink is a news transmission client designed to replace nntpxmit. It is capable of emulating nntpxmit exactly, closely or not at all (IMHO, this is the best mode of course. :-) Instead of invoking nntpxmit every <n> minutes you can can start up NNTPlink once and it will run until killed. It keeps the connection to the remote NNTP server open, only closing it after a specified amount of idle time or after a specified number of articles have been offered to the remote server.NNTPlink was written by David Alden (alden@math.ohio-state.edu) and is available from:

InterNetNews is a complete Usenet system. The cornerstone of the package is innd, an NNTP server that multiplexes all I/O. Think of it as an nntpd merged with the B News inews, or as a C News relaynews that reads multiple NNTP streams. Newsreading is handled by a separate server, nnrpd, that is spawned for each client. Both innd and nnrpd have some slight variances from the NNTP protocol; see the manpages.It was written by Rich $alz (rsalz@uunet.uu.net) and is available from:
