I am getting an Ethernet card for my 386 PC. I have telnet/ftp
software, but am looking for an "rn" newsreader for it, to 
access a newsserver over the network. Anyone know where I can
find such a thing? 

Actually is there something better than "rn" - rn has a truly
infuriating misfeature - there is no way to get an index of
news items with titles listed (it would be nice to have a 
base item with "n followups" listed like Notes does) and no way at
all to index already read items without un-reading them with the m command.
