Starting Your Usenet Newsfeed

News Service

Usenet news service offers two news feed options:

• News Feed
  Customer supports a local news server.
  
  
• Multiclient 5 Client Access
  Five individuals on the customer's site can read news from a news server.

Customers can select one option (newsfeed or multiclient) but not both.

As of May 1999, a full daily newsfeed is about:

• 25 Gigabytes
• 500,000 articles
• 24,000 newsgroups

Take advantage of the wealth of information available on Usenet. If you have a Dial Access or 56 Kbps leased line connection, you need to define your news feed selectively and retrieve only those groups or hierarchies that are useful to you.
