You get a feed mostly by knowing someone who gives it to
you. Sometimes knowing somebody who knows somebody else who can give it to
you also works. More hops are generally a problem.
Bandwidth consumption strongly depends on what newsgroups you will be
having on your newsserver. On a small local hierarchy the
9600Bd Modem might still do. For a full feed >100Mbit/s are needed.
