Re: Of news readers, slurpers, and servers...
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Just what I personally use:
nntpcache (non-free but good software. I've used it since bo was
released)
It's a caching news server and will read and post to multiple servers. I
have my ISP's server set up as the primary, then I grab a few groups from
an "inside" server.
Then just use any newsreader you want.
BTW, does anyone know how to make trn decode multipart mime/base64
attachments?
