No, of course not. To get Usenet messages and to post them one must do this directly through a news server (i.e., an NNTP server) via of a news client program, OR through some special web-based service using a www interface and providing for such capabilities, OR via Telnet. The Telnet procedure is rather complicated, and usually the Telnet connection will run very slow. I don't think there are any other ways of doing newsgroups. If anyone knows of any other methods, please let us know about them. Arachne does not have a capability for using a news server. Nettamer does, and it is a most excellent and efficient client program to use for doing newsgroups.
