greetings
I am looking for a fully automatic way (event from FrontDoor) to logon to my
ISP and download selected usenet groups. This MUST be a DOS program as the bbs
system does not have Windows or will ever have it installed. A fellow sysop
mentioned that IREX could do this.... but could not tell me how it can be done
the Irex docs also don't give any info on setting up for NNTP.
I tried NETTAMER but it does not support fully automatic operation and did
also try NEWSGATE on the Internet system however this has the drawback that
the bbs system then has to have network support to talk to the internet
system, another software package that was tried was KA9Q but for some reason
when I changed ISP's it refused to connect to port 119.
Any and all help greatly appreciated.
