    min and leafnode are ones for *nix based machines, i personally use thunderbird (or my bbs LOL) although i am a bit
    disappointed that eternity doesnt carry "alt.ensign.wesley.die.die.die" LOL
    lol! I do miss groups like that

    yea i know.. there was a whole bunch of them i loved.

    I'll see if I can snag those two clients. I did find "Pan" which helped me work through a couple issues.

    they should be in the standard package manager... but come to think about it. I think leafnode is actually an nntp server as opposed to a client..

    here's the list from my ubuntu install i have at hand (the bbs one :D)

    brag - Downloads and assembles multipart Usenet binaries

    ifgate - Internet to Fidonet gateway

    jamnntpd - NNTP Server allowing newsreaders to access a JAM messagebase

    nn - Heavy-duty USENET news reader (curses-based client)

    slrn - threaded text-mode news reader

    slrnface - shows X-Faces from a newsposting on an X11 terminal emulator

    tin - Full-screen easy to use Usenet newsreader

    sabnzbdplus - web-based binary newsreader with nzb support

    trn4 - Threaded USENET news reader, based on rn (4.0 beta test)



    regards

    I've put together a quick and dirty implementation allowing NNTP write access in addition to the existing read enigma supports.

    Question: What are some popular clients people use for BBS's for this
    sort of thing?

    I have no idea how popular it is, but I use Claws Mail with JamNNTPd. One nice feature is support for "format=flowed".
    See https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3676

    I know of JAMNNTPd as server <> JAM which I may look over a tad for any BBS-specific 'X-whatever' "kludges" in the headers... anything else I should be aware of?

    The Gatebau '94 / '97 standard, especially for MSGID and REPLY kludge translation.
