For text news, Thunderbird will work for nntp servers.  I have use it at 
work.  It will work for binaries as well but again, it isn't great.  If 
you follow some binary groups, then you need something that is batch 
capable.

BTW, thank you for the google link.  We do some work here that is 
followed on usenet but we cannot access the particular groups.  Problem 
now solved, at least for the text part.
