 Another Usenet system, known as InterNetNews, or INN, was written by Rich
-Salz <rsalz@uunet.uu.net>.  INN is designed to run on Unix hosts that
-have a socket interface.  It is optimized for larger hosts where most
-traffic uses NNTP, but it does provide full UUCP support.  INN is very
-fast, and since it integrates NNTP many people find it easier to
-administer only one package.  The package was publicly released on August
-20, 1992.  For more information, see the paper "InterNetNews:  Usenet
-Transport for Internet Sites" published in the June 1992 Usenix Technical
-Conference Proceedings.  INN can be obtained from many places, including
-the 4.4BSD tape; its official archive site is ftp.uu.net in the directory
-/networking/news/nntp/inn.  The current version is 1.4sec, last release
-22-dec-1993.

 In June 1995, David Barr began a series of unoffical releases of INN based
 on 1.4sec, integrating various bug-fixes, enhancements and security
-patches.  The current release is 1.4unoff3, found in
+patches.  His last release was 1.4unoff4, found in
 ftp.math.psu.edu:/pub/INN.  This site is also the home of contributed
 software for INN and other news administration tools.
 
+INN is now maintained by the Internet Software Consortium <inn@isc.org>.

 Towards the end of 1992, Geoff Collyer implemented NOV (News Overview): a
 database that stores the important headers of all news articles as they
 arrive.  This is intended for use by the implementors of news readers to
    ...
 (capable of doing many of the jobs of rn's killfiles). It is available from
 <URL:ftp:space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slrn/>.
 
-xrn is an X11-based interface to NNTP that was written by Rick Spickelmier
-and Ellen Sentovich (UC Berkeley) and is currently maintained by Jonathan
-Kamens (OpenVision Technologies, Inc.).  The current version is 8.01,
-available by anonymous ftp from ftp.x.org in /contrib/applications/xrn.  xrn
-supports many features, including sorting by subject, user-settable key
-bindings, graceful handling of NNTP server crashes, and many of the features
-of rn (including KILL files and key bindings similar to rn).

 Another X11-based newsreader is xvnews, written by Dan Currie, currently
 maintained by Hans de Graaff <J.J.deGraaff@twi.tudelft.nl>.  xvnews is an
    ...
 traditional readnews and vnews by presenting a menu of article subject and
 sender-name lines, allowing you to preselect articles to read.  nn uses NOV
 index files for fast access to article header information.  nn is now
-maintained by Peter Wemm <peter@dialix.oz.au>, and the "offical" ftp
-location is the /pub/nn directory on uniwa.uwa.edu.au.  The current version
-of nn is 6.4.18.  Non-Australian sites should request the sources from
-their nearest backbone site.
+maintained by (Michael T Pins <mtpins@isca.uiowa.edu>.  The current version
+is 6.5.1 and the "official" ftp site is ftp.isca.uiowa.edu in the
+unix/nn directory.
 
 Yet another newsreader is the "tin" reader.  It operates with threads, uses
 NOV-style index files if available, has different article organization
    ...
 facilities for using SMTP to forward/reply etc.  The latest version is
 1.07 and is shareware available at most main ftp sites.
