- If by "customized" you mean "ported to", then tin will likely do what
- you want. The interface is a full screen interface, rather than the rn
- scrolling-type interface. I prefer it myself; others might prefer 'rn'.
-
- You can get tin by FTP from:
-
- USA [131.210.1.4] ftp.uwp.edu:pub/tin
-
- I built it on our HP/UX box without too many problems. If you build it
- with the NNTP support enabled, it can talk 'nntp' protocol to wherever
- you've installed your news server.
