HI Dave: Thanks for the email.. The Usenet solution seems do-able... We have IIS 6 running, and it seems pretty straight forward setting up nntp ... I understand there is a program Mailman in Fedora which might work as well. Going to try the MS solution first I will let the list know what we finally decide on..

We looked into it several years ago when I was at MMU. At that time there didn't seem to be much in the way of free software. An internal usenet server could serve a similar purpose and there are several Linux distributions with usenet servers built in.

We will have about 20 - 25 teachers/staff who will be discussing vocational topics. We do not host our web page or email. Perhaps some good "discussion" software ... Is blogging better ? Just looking for the easiest/inexpensive solution besides email for people to discuss a common topic... Many thanks, Bill Clark, Austine School for the Deaf [log in to unmask]
