I'm stuck using Google to access the groups when I'm at work.

why? does your ISP at work does not offer usenet news?

Apparently not. Oddly enough.


hm, he might install Hamster http://www.tglsoft.de/misc/hamster_en.htm as a
small newserver (freeware) at home, use a static IP address or dyn-dns at
home and then connect from work to the server at home.

or he uses a free NNTP access (or invests some bucks for a paid service or
switches to an ISP offering all what he wants/needs)

try forte. it is free. - www.forteinc.com

You mean Agent.

yep.

No, wait...you mean Free Agent. Agent costs money.
Outlook Express is free too. So is 40tude Dialog. There are probably
others. But until Jay gets NNTP acccess, all of that is irrelevant.


hm, I gave Thunderbird http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/ a try
(also freeware) today and installed an Outlook Express theme. Worked OK and
gives the Outlook Express user a known environment.
