I never figured out how to get that to link up to my Ethernet card.

But I do offer a solution:

Announcing Snuz, a simple News reader (and poster) for NNTP server News.
It also sends mail, how well I can't promise. It is NOT rn or rrn or nn 
or trn. It is very simple - no kill files, no regular expression searches,
etc. But it is a reasonable program - it moves about in the miasma
of News quite well. It DOES read cross posted articles only once.

SNUZ IS BETA!! Barely beta!!!! No guarantees.

Snuz is available by anonymous ftp from c.scs.uiuc.edu.
