There is something called WinVN, downloadable from clvax1.cl.msu.edu.
It works under Win 3.0. It uses either PC/TCP sockets or a serial line
to a NNTP server. You get the complete sources.

The problem is that when it starts, it supposes a connexion to NNTP is
already there (on the serial line), and has no provision for dialing
and telneting to nntp. That could have been added since the time I looked
at this software.
