Agent worked fine for me under Wine.
I do however agree with the scanner issue. I have a parallel port noname scanner which
works great but no Linux support.
Pan is a real good choice for a Linux "Agent-like" newsreader. Has the look and feel
of Agent.

There are 2 programs that keep me in Windows, and Agent is one of them.
The other is Ashlar"s Vellum, a drafting program. I must admit, however, that
I still prefer Eudora(3.5) to any Linux mail program I have found. I tried
Postillion
but could not get it to load, and was seriously rebuffed by the maintainer
when
I asked questions on the mail list. The other thing that keeps me having a M$
box is no support for my IBM scanner in Linux.
