:)what is the truth?

I have a friend running a pair of BSDI 2.1 boxes using nntp+cnews
who gets 10+ articles/sec over a local lan.  I'm setting up a
redundant news box on our local lan and will test this myself.
The main box will be BSDI 2.1 (nntp + cnews) and the redundant
machine will be an Alpha UDB (166mhz) running Redhat Linux 4.0
and inn1.5(latest beta) in streaming mode.

Regards,

Chris
