Could some kind soul point me to a newsreader for Solaris? I have a Sparc
2 on my desk and
the browser, but I really need the conferences. Thats where the best
people and the best
information resides. I can ftp a newsreader but since all my past
experience has been
on MAC and PC software, I don't know what is the right tool for a Sun.
Thanks very much
for your help.

for reading news, you can use emacs, (just tell it what
nntp server you want to use, there are free ones you can use),
or you can use a browser (such as netscape) to read newsgroups,
for example, I posted this though the browser, this is the URL
for this news group:

http://drn.zippo.com/news-bin/wwwnews?comp.unix.solaris/

go to the top of the above URL to access other news groups.

Try connecting to http://ftpsearch.ntnu.no/ftpsearch

This place is great for ftp searches.
