Good point. I forgot about that one. For awhile I didn't use its
newsreader because the ISP I had at the time required authentication
and Minuet doesn't support that.
Minuet also has the feature of checking the high-low count which helps
if a newsgroup is overly active and you don't want to download
a few hundred messages.

I just found out that Deja.com now offers a feature where one
can use whatever newsreader they want.
Something like $9 a month.
For Windows users who use those free services like NetZero or freeI.net
(which don't have news as far as I know) can now have full internet
capabilities for $9 a month.
Too bad these free services don't work with DOS/Linux internet tools.
