- Thanks to those that replied. While I didn't get much concrete responses,
- everyone running INN now wouldn't go back to C-News+NNTP, and that their
- news service was much better in their environment.
-
- One person somewhere in news.software.* commented that INN core requirements
- could be cut by removing the dbz_incore() call, at the cost of more disk I/O.
- In our case this won't be necessary, but it's an option for non-dedicated
- machines.
-
- I have one site that will need to change their software, or have me feed
- articles to them rather than grabbing them via nntpxfer. The change is
- trivial (send a MODE READER, and check for a 200/201 response code).
-
- My fingers are crossed that the IPC will arrive before Thanksgiving, then
- inn.ysu.edu will be running alongside news.ysu.edu for about a month (my
- newsfeeds needn't be concerned about this, it'll be moving to news.ysu.edu
- when we retire the wretched NCR). I'm not sure about running nntplink,
- I may just run innxmit (just cuz I can shovel news fast doesn't mean I
- *have* to).
