    From Rants@21:1/125 to All on Tue Nov 3 09:20:32 2020
    Hi all,

    I have a NNTP feed that I can access, what tossers or software can I use to pull from the NNTP feed and dump into Mystic for my BBS? Any direction would
    be helpful.

    Thanks,
    Rants

    I have my doors on Synchronet, so I use Synchronet's newslink to pull from NNTP, and I set up a QWK network between my Sync and Mystic BBS's.

    Well there's a gateway available here in fsxNet that you could use if you
    want to save yourself some set up pain etc. :)

    Have a look at the TXT file in the infopack. The gateway at 21:1/10 can offer bi-directional packets to your BBS for gated Usenet feeds.

    Best, Paul

    I am sure there are much simpler ways to do this but I have Synchronet set up on another PC in my basement which pulls the newgroups. Each of those is set
    up as an echo in a private FTN network which has two nodes. The Synchronet system and my Mystic board. Works well for me.

    Thanks, I'm seeing alot of that. I guess Syncronet might be my easy option at least for me to play with it.

    That's what got me into Synchronet back in 2004; I had a crappy old
    Windows box laying around, and with 20 minutes of tweaking was able to
    get a telnettable BBS, mail server, FTP server, web server and news
    server up and running. I've spent the last 16 years dealing with the
    last 10%. :)
