I'm currently running xvnews on a SPARC ELC, accessing a remote news server. This	works fine, but I need a simpler VT-100 oriented reader for dial-in use by one	person who also uses my machine. What's the simplest package to set up for this use?

I use 'tin' from home and it works great .... simple 'full-screen' curses  
interface. 

Get it from:	ftp.uu.net

File is:	/pub/networking/news/readers/tin/tin.tar.Z
