Network News Transfer Protocol
(NNTP) A protocol defined in RFC 977 for the distribution,
inquiry, retrieval and posting of Usenet news articles
over the Internet. It is designed to be used between a
news reader client such as nn or GNUS and a news
server. It is normally used on a connection to TCP port
119 on the news server. NNTP is a simple ASCII text
protocol so even if you don't have a news reader program, you
can just connect to the server using telnet:
telnet news 119
where news is the name of your server
(e.g. news.doc.ic.ac.uk). Typing HELP will give a list of
other commands.
