- So that's why I haven't heard a word about GRn 3.0 until recently?
- Is there going to be an AmiTCP version of GRn 3.0, ever? Or even an
- unbundled version that works with the socket.library emulation? I know there
- are many of us out here in Netland who only have a single machine that they
- want to connect to a simple dial-up server, for whom $350 is very overkill.
- No need for a 5-node license, no fancy servers, just SLIP and a BOOTP.
- I only ask because there are no other decent (GUI) newsreaders for on-line
- NNTP reading, my preferred method. (Yep, flat rate phones here, and it means
- I don't have to guess which articles I'll want to read in advance, nor
- download them all.)
