I have to say i've tried noffle, inn+suck, leafnode, nntpcache etc, but never 
found anything that completely suited me. My requirements for such a server 
would be to be able to combine several upstream servers, even combining 
inside individual groups. None did that. Also they all had quirks on 
newsgroup subscriptions. Noffle was the best,but didn't combine servers on 
the same groups. Thanks,

David
