I wanted to setup some kind of a newsgroup type for the users at work. This will strictly intranet only. The idea is to have users collaborate on day to day things by posting.
1. I'm new on this
2. can anyone recommend a shareware or commercial prog?
3. give me some pointers..especially if you have done it.
4. I want to use Outlook express as the client (or can you
recommend a better {cheap} alternative)

thanks...

If you have a WinNT/2K server to use, you can use IIS to host your newsgroup. Just check out the online help (it's pretty easy though from what I remember when I did it) or hit Technet for a how-to. You can also lockdown who can see what using your workgroup/domain permissions for simpler administration. As for the client, OE works great with it.
