I haven't yet, that's one of those technical exercises I'd like to try ometime.

It works here just fine, haven't had any trouble with it. Just took a while to create a unique INTERNAL CODE for each group, but I got the
hang of it.
Nice!Thanks :)

True I make a list now with groupname and which internal code. LOL...
Which groups do you prefer? Like some here wrote, it isnt activate anymore.
Thinking about also adding fidonet, that is still being active?
Just want to read and sometimes respond, that is all...

I was connected to Fidonet in the past, but finally gave up on it. Not for any technical reason, it worked fine, but it's just not for me. I'm sure
many are pleased to read/contribute to it, but I found it almost
depressing. Dove-Net is much nicer :)

Yeah, I got the impression it "just works". It's a pity that the smaller "local" news servers of the past are long gone. Some of those limited circulation newsgroups would have been a good match for the BBS, and in the 90s, I would have had access to a good set.

A couple of us have been testing exactly this on some networks (i2p & tor). We now have running a small set of newsgroups on 4 different inn servers, plus 2 Synchronet installs.
It's working great. Not that we have a lot of users, but it's the fun
of setting it up and enjoying the communication between systems and the lack of data loss. It's also given us the opportunity to develop two different web interfaces to NNTP, which is not so common anymore.
We mainly focus on our main groups, but also carry some Usenet groups,
and FMS (Freenet) groups. The idea is a user in i2p, tor, freenet and clearnet can all communicate with eachother. So far it's working well.
If you're interested, feel free to check it out.
telnet rocksolidbbs.com 25
nntp: rocksolidbbs.com 110
This one is a Synchronet install.
The newsgroups we're sharing are rocksolid.shared.*

Odd chice of ports, given those are SMTP and POP3 standard ports, and 25 is often blocked by ISPs.

I'll have a look. :)
Lots to look through, looks like a good setup. BTW, you gave me (as I suspected) your mail ports, telnet was 23, and I suspect NNTP is 119. :)
It should probably go, bbs first, drink later, but I think I got it backward.

Oops, I should pay more attention! You suspect correctly :)
