- Well, IBM supply a news reader with their TCP/IP for OS/2 - it is
- not 'supported' but is in the samples directory I believe.
-
- FTP also provide NNTP client which can be read by Vmail.
-
- I'm not sure about Essex.
-
- As you can see both the major vendors do provide news readers,
- make sure you get/have IBM TCP/IP 1.2.1 or FTP PC/TCP for OS/2 1.2.

- I hope this helps
