reading usenet. I'm on the PC side of the fence using putty and haven't a clue what's on the Mac side.

Suggestions welcome and I'll pass 'em along to my pal MT-NewsWatcher Works well, mine has been (last few months, not sure what set it off) occasionally claiming it's closed unexpectedly when I've actually closed/quit it intentionally, but other than that I've been using it for many years with no problems (and it seems to saves the read news correctly even when that happens). -- Cats, coffee, chocolate...vices to live by |

I find it integrates mail/news and web stuff pretty well. I've been using some form of netscape/mozilla/firefox/thunderbird for at least 12 years, I think. Jon |

I haven't done newsreading on my Mac, but if I were to do so, I would probably download this: http://slrn.darwinports.com/ so I could continue using slrn as my newsreader. I don't know whether it supports a GUI interface on the Mac, but I do know that it works nicely in a plain text screen, which is what I prefer under a newsreader. It also lets you configure which editor to use -- and I normally use jove on my other unix systems, but if I did not have it downloaded for the Mac (I do have it) I would probably pick emacs as the editor. I know that one is supplied with the extras with Mac OS-X.
