Sure I know what his problem is.

: THOR has been working Great for me.  If
: you just READ THE MANUAL you won't have any problems. 

I don't know who this manual was written for, but surely 
not for people familiar with standard (UNIX) TCP/IP 
packages. 
Eventually, I got it to fetch Mail and News but I really don't think
it's worth the trouble.

:  well give VooDoo a Try then, Of course if you can't use THOR for some strange
: reson, maybe you'll have problems with VooDoo also, 

Voodoo looks great but sure needs a lot of work with the User
Interface (not GUI, hint: easy *and fast* control via keyboard) 

If only I had time to write a useable mail/newsreader ...
perhaps I should take a year unpaid vacation... ;-)

BTW anyone got IntuiNews to run with POP/NNTP ? (without UUCP)
Would that work ?
