   question about NNTP

   Hi, Bj”rn Felten!   
   I read your message from 29.04.2014 14:56   
      
    ak>> Just for the sake of interest. I found out that I know little   
    ak>> about the NNTP network.   
      
    BF> Well, it's been described in detail in Fidonews articles for a   
    BF> couple of years. Just make sure you do not read the fake Z1   
    BF> version.   
      
    BF> There's no big deal here, really. What matters is that many of us   
    BF> JamNNTPd sysops are also taking part of the newly created Fidoweb,   
    BF> where we all connect to each other and don't give a damn about   
    BF> dups.   
      
   But where do fidoweb sites take messages? I visited such a site where I can   
   read and post to Fidonet. But it looks like a fidoweb gate e.i. it gets   
   messages as a Fidonet node (using FTN protocol for instance), and then it   
   copies them to the web site, and any Internet user can read it.   
      
    BF> So, no, even if half of the JamNNTPd systems went down, you still   
    BF> would be able to maintain 100% connectivity with the rest of the   
    BF> Fidonet world.   
      
    BF> Whaddaya think about that, huh? 8-)   
      
   So FTN Fidonet remains the main carrier anyway?   
      
   Bye, Bj”rn!
