I think you are talking about lists mirrored as newsgroups on the Usenet
backbone in some way.  Is that right?

I want something different, almost opposite to that -- a private news
(NNTP) server running on the same machine as LISTSERV that allows people
ot read the list (actually it would be the archives they'd be reading) as
a newsgroup.  This would not involve Usenet or Bitnet at all.
