Apologies if this question is not posted to the most appropriate place - I'm new to Gentoo and this forum. Please move if/where you think appropriate!

Since I prefer to post questions/answers using slrn on a virtual tty, I was just wondering is there is an NNTP interface for this forum?

We provide no such interface. Implementing it would require mandating various things on the NNTP side, at very least signing posts; and it would be quite a lot of work, including associating keys with specific users. Essentially the same applies to posting via e-mail.

Moved from Gentoo Chat to Gentoo Forums Feedback.
