I know from nothing about networks. Mainly what I want to do is read
and reply to E-mail; though I might want to run PSpice at some point
in time.

I've occasionally wished that there were a Usenet (NNTP) reader that
would automatically synchronize across multiple computers. AFAIK,
though, no such program exists, unfortunately.

Indeed!

Assuming I understand the question !!!!!!!

Yup, can be done., Just a server installed on the main machine that will
respond to the NNTP port and redirect in/out to local and remote
machines from a list of IP addresses.

No modes needed in any client software. Just a server operating on the
machine that has the actual connect to the NNTP..

I think there is more to it than that

Might be able to Ggogle for "NNTP proxy". It will not preserve the
state metadata from multiple newsreaders on multiple machines, though.

I suspect one could move the Agent database to your laptop when you
travel, then move it back when you come home.

That well could be. It is true for the read I use ( Mozilla ) - er,
at least restoring the appropriate profile files takes you back to the
state they were saved at, anyway.
