Sorry, no. Use a real newsreader.

I used a newsreader for years (and still could, on my home ISP,
Mediacom cable), but our hotel ISP is Qwest DSL, and they charge extra
for newsgroup access. Since I really can't justify paying extra hotel
money just to surf the newsgroups, I am forced to "get by" with
GoogleGroups.

And, to be honest, Google is an excellent way to access the 'groups,
usually. They just can't seem to leave well enough alone, and are
continually screwing up what is already a nearly flawless interface.

I second the recommendations to
either 1) try out Martin Hotze's offer or 2) get a "text-only" or low-
volume account from one of the commercial news services.

Real newsreaders have been under continuous development since about 1981;
Web "newsreaders" have been under intermittent development since about
1995 or so. It shows.
