Install a local newserver package such as leafnode and point gnus at that server. Your local server can then be configured to periodically fetch news from and forward your postings to aioe (as well as several other sources if you wish) and the occasional temporary outage will be invisible to you (you will even be able to read and post when your system is off-line). Usenet is a peer-to-peer store-and-forward system. It is not intended to be used as a centralized client-server system like the Web. -- John Hasler [email protected] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
