So it is a question of how to program the reader to see RAS.

First try accessing it through googlegroups:

No, don't!

Ask your Internet provider how to access its nntp-Server.

And why not, may I ask? I dumped newsreaders long ago and find
googlegroups to work just fine. You can easily see which threads has
new messages since you last check, and you can do it from any computer
with internet browser. I am not sure you can get the same
functionality (following from multiple computers) as easy with
newsreaders. So far, knock on wood, the level of spamming in RAS is
not enough to justify a newsreader just for that purpose.
