Description

Noffle is a Usenet news server optimized for few users and low speed dial-up connections to the Internet. It acts as a server to news clients running on the local host, but gets its news feed by acting as a client to a remote server. Allows reading news offline with many news clients, even if they do not support offline reading by themselves.
