Slrnpull which someone suggested it out because it cannot handle multiple
upstream news servers. I'm sure that cnews can, but it's a full-fledged news
server and isn't very easy to set up. That leaves leafnode, which supports
multiple upstream servers, passwords, and is designed to be easy to use, and
to require no maintanance.
