Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP)
The Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) is the TCP/IP protocol used to access Usenet news servers. Usenet news servers contain thousands of individual message boards known as
newsgroups. Each newsgroup is about a particular subject (cars, dating, computers, etc.). Chances are, if you have an interest, there is a newsgroup about it. The details of the NNTP protocol
are specified in RFC 977.
Note:
Because of the relative complexity involved in configuring a news reader program,
there are many websites (including google.com) that have made newsgroup
access available through the Web.
