Okay, I got set up with trn just fine on the new machine
(the new trn does a couple of things differently, but I
can live with those, or maybe find ways to change my 
settings to undo them), so I'm reading Usenet just fine.
But I can't find Pnews! Do I need to explicitly ask for
that, too? Or is there some FreeBSD equivalent that I
could get used to?

I can post followups while reading a group with trn,
but currently I have no way to initiate a thread
(other than changing all the headers in a reply...).
