You can use MacSOUP with multiple news servers, but you have to create a
separate settings file (and folder) for each server, and you can only
have one file (and therefore server) open at a time. The main
disadvantage to this is that you can't tag headers or read articles from
one server while downloading headers or articles from a different
server. It also makes it awkward to reply to an article via a server
other than the one it was read from -- although I'd be surprised if the
typical news server would permit posting an article to a group that it
didn't carry.
