You can mount the news spool nfs and read from there, or get a news reader that can handle nntp. Both gnus and Gnews seem to do a fair job although you'll really want gnus for either novice users or small cpu machines. Gnews is far more complete and expansive but you pay for it in cpu usage. gnus, btw, seems faster than even rn. -- rich.
