You mean, if it's a private newsgroup ? Then you're right. Hmm... Can't you
ask your sysadmin to add (for instance) news.mandrakesoft.com in the list of
allowed news servers ? I guess everyone can't.

That could be a solution. If someone could give me some pointers to existing
web-gateways-to-news-servers packages, it would be great.
Don't expect it too soon though. We still got a helluva-lotta-work to do
before ;)
