I hesitate to state the obvious, but you should be able to compile the
USENET software (2.11) and RN under A/UX, since the authors have taken
great care to allow these programs to run under almost any variety of *NIX.

Just play with the localize file(s) and it *should* work - and it's free.
Now all you need to buy is that 80M disk with A/UX....no problem, right? :-)
