You should give fsuucp a try. FSUUCP supports mail and news, with readnews and
postnews facilities. It's pretty well documanted and may be anonymous ftp'd
from simtel20. You can also send mail to request-fsuucp@polyslo.calpoly.edu.

If you ftp it, I *think* what you're looking for is PD1:<MSDOS.BBS>FSUU11R5.ZIP
but no flames if I remembered wrong.  ;-)
