Does anyone know where I can get a NNTP compatible news reader for a Macintosh.

There is another PD Stack called Mews that contains NNTP and a Mail module, for the life of me I can't think of who has this package. (I have been trying to gather all of this information for sometime now, and have a fair amount but not all of it) In the commercial arena, there is TCP/Connect II with a NNTP reader.

It will contain a News reader. Myself, I prefer unix nn, because it is much faster. Another solution is TCP/Connect II It has fast good news reader, but it costs tooooo much.
