It'd save me lots of time, if I could find ports/binaries for my
*BSD (FreeBSD) system. In particular, I'm looking for 'nntpd'.
The only archive known to me (freebsd.cdrom.com) didn't have it
but I'm sure someone has already ported it to *BSD.

If I understand correctly (I'm very new to 386bsd), NetBSD can run
any binary from FreeBSD, 386bsd and many BSD/386 ones, but not vice
versa, right?

Thanks in advance,

Dimitris.
