Bill,
If you have some info about these, could you drop me a line? I
spent most of last night searching for a web based usenet client
and didn't come up with much of anything. I am experimenting with
one right now, but it is ROUGH. It doesn't do threading, so it is
probably not very useful. Another one I tried didn't work. If you
know of anything, preferable freeware (or really cheap) and open
source I'd love to hear about it! (It needs to run on Linux)
I thought the same thing myself - it doesn't seem like a big deal,
and there are a lot of sites out there that offer web based access to
Usenet (deja/google being the largest) so I was surprised at how
much difficulty I am having finding something!
