ASP NNTP Viewer

[Collywobbles]

I would like to add usenet to a forum I have.
Is there any tutorials that will show me how to download the NG data,
etc. or even if possible a (free*) application to run it.

Thanks
Killian

Below is a URL to Perl code to do that.

In Perl this task is straightforward because most of the code's already
written as CPAN modules. But even if you don't use it you may find the
explanation useful in understanding the NNTP protocol:

Thanks Michael.
I found a PHP app this morning called myNewsGroups which does the job.
My problem now is trying to find a quick NG server! The one I am using
with the app (213.155.197.138) is incredibly slow!
