Looking for a NewsReader that I can use when I dial into my NeXT.  It's hooked
up to the network and I can access it with NewsGrazer but (obviously) this does
n't work through a modem.  (I get billed for using this account).  There has to
 be something out there I just don't know where to look.

ALSO, I'm looking for something better than the standard WRITE command to commu
nicate between two users who dial in.  I need a way to save the session to disk
 for research purposes later. (or if you know how to save it with WRITE)  I hav
en't been able to get TALK to work right, but I don't think that would be any e
asier to save (probably harder).

Thanks!

The two best newsreaders are nn and trn.

Both offer so many nice features that NewsGrazer lacks, that I'm
surprised that anyone is using NewsGrazer, despite the GUI, even
from the console.
