[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] NNTP news readers for MS-DOS

bill@polygen.uucp (Bill Poitras) (04/02/91)

I have seen a lot of talk about news readers for MS-DOS.  Could someone
send me what they know about the various news readers.  Things I want to
know are:
	- What communications does it need? (pc-nfs,packet tcpip,none)
	- How good is it?  How much like RN does it work like?
	- How configurable is it?

If I get enough responce, I will post a summary to 
comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc.  Mail is preferable.  Thanks in advance.

add to these questions:
 
  - how like NN is it (a la Storm)?
  - will it work with WinQVT Net? Instead of QVT Net?

thanks
