News Readers

by cpfeiffe . Updated 24 years, 5 months ago

I need to identify a program or collection of programs to perform the following tasks. I don’t need the details on implementing just yet and I’ll try to figure all of that out for myself, but I need to know where to start.

1) download news articles from various newsgroups and/or review news articles at the newsgroup server live
2) allow users to review the articles on their PCs via a web browser

The server that I need to download these articles to and server them from will be Solaris 8. I would prefer incorporating Apache to make the articles available to the users via web browser. I have found many news reader programs (trn, slm, pine, inn) but I can’t seem to get detailed information on whether or not I will be able to use these with a web browser except for trn and inn, which seem to be screen oriented only and have no browser capability.

If you know of a good tool (free or cost) please provide the tool and where I can go to get more information and to download/purchase this tool.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
