There are other choices too.  I use leafnode.  It seems to do the same as
nntpcache.  It too can look like a 'normal' news server.  The way I use it
is that it lives on my hosted server (an SS2, so we're back on-topic :-)
and pulls my news down a couple of times a day.  I also have it installed
on my Linux laptop, which connects to my server to get news.  I actually
*read* news using Forte Agent running on the laptop under Wine, connecting
to localhost.
