   Uhm ... those were patches to NTP code, not NNTP (USENET news).  I'm
   interested in this (NNTP) as well - but are you asking about compiling
   INN??  I've managed to compile NNTPCACHE, but you need read access to
   a news server (and presumably post access) making it more of a sucking
   news feed without IHAVE support.

   The guys who write DNEWS might be persuaded to port their code - DNEWS
   is a *very* nice server that supports both sucking and IHAVE feeds.

   ** Guys?  Do very few authors seem to include NetBSD due to the wide
   variety of architectures??  Share- & freeware, no big deal.  But if a
   company is trying to sell their products, it's difficult to claim you
   have support for NetBSD if you only have binaries for 1 or 2 boxes.
