Get leafnode. I think you'll like it, especially judging from your foundness for fetchmail cronjobs etc. as it works similar. Leafnode acts like a newserver on your machine, and is really easy to set up, fast, and small. You can use it to grab news periodically and read them offline with pine, slrn, tin, netscape---i.e., your client of choice. -M - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
