I'm scanning through the alt.usenet.offline-reader newsgroup right
now... pretty slim pickings for the UNIX crowd. Almost all of it is
geared towards the DOS/Windows/Mac market, not surprisingly. It would
probably be easier if the FreeBSD user could have a simple little news
server at their end that could connect to their ISP, grab their unread
news, store it in a local /var/spool/news and update their .newsrc. I
hesistate to suggest that we include INN or Cnews though. They are
overkill for a single person reading their news offline, but I can't
think of any alternatives at the moment.
