    I love to use newsgroups and wonder where I can access them on bbs's.

    I do know that fidonet has a few. the CBM channel relays, for instance.

    Thanks,

    I run a NNTP news server at news.bbs.nz and offer a news <> FTN gateway at 21:1/10 HUB. There's info in the fsxNet nodelist for sysops wanting to get a gated need of newsgroups. The feed is bi directional so FTN posts are sent
    back to the Usenet newsgroup.

    The reports you mention are showing what is being gate into FTN packets each time the gateway polls the NNTP server to receive from and send anything to
    it.

    I do know that fidonet has a few. the CBM channel relays, for instance.

    I feed this FTN echo also but fly a gateway under the 3:770/3 AKA which in
    turn feeds my Fido HUB at 3:770/1 and that sends the messages onwards to the rest of Fido. :)
