I am looking for a NNTP client that provides rn-like functionality for
various operating system environments (Unix, VMS, and MS-DOS).  Yes, I
know about rrn, but I don't think it would run on a PC or on my VMS host. 
Yes, I know about ANU news (I run it), but I would like something that
uses BSD 4.3 network programming libraries (DECnet transport for the VMS
environment) and termcap or curses.  What I want is a common piece of
software that runs in multiple environments and is suitable for
providing news service to lots of small, sites that don't have many
resources or technical expertise (just install it and go).  I saw an
NNTP client in comp.os.vms some time ago that might be retrofitted for
my application, but lost the references. 

Any pointers or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
