We are interested in providing a NEWS READER service to our users. We have just recently become Internet members via NYSERNET. We have a 4381 model 91E mainframe, 64mb, running VM/ESA 1.2.1 and hosting 3 operating systems...already overloaded. We have a NOVELL lan (ethernet, fiber). How can we best provide this service if we subscribe to a reasonable subset of newsgroups? How much machine is required; what hardware configuration? What vendor/platform is most suitable? What software is required? Where can we get our startup questions answered...we are starting from square one? I would appreciate any assistance. Thanks in advance. Helen P.
