In your .slrnrc file, make lines like this:

server news.goshen.edu .jnewsrc-goshen
server lugnet.com .jnewsrc-lugnet
server news.vmware.com .jnewsrc-vmware
server news.massena.com .jnewsrc-pilot

And then make corresponding aliases:

alias gcnews='slrn -C -h news.goshen.edu'
alias lugnet='slrn -C -h lugnet.com'
alias vmnews='slrn -C -h news.vmware.com'
alias palmnews='slrn -C -h news.massena.com'


I don't want to run a full blown NNTP site.  Not enough disk space.

Or, you could use slrn-pull or some other such package to set up a small
sucking news feed, which shouldn't eat up too much space.
