It "sucked" newsgroups from various places (NNTP provider, my employer's server, my NNTP provider, SparkList) so they'd be available quickly to me. Once upon a time, I opened it to one or two JP users by request but IIRC that faded quickly. There were some gadgets available to tack onto it. One was an email (inbound) feed that I could never get working well. Visiting their site (netwinsite) I see they say it has a web interface. It's no longer developed but still available "as is". I was serious when I said I'd be delighted if someone developed forum software that emulated Agent (or any decent newsreader). Such an interface should be easy for some. Integration with email should be done from scratch (not tacked on to 20 year old bulletin board technology). Users would need some space on the server to keep track of what they've seen (heck, perhaps that could even be done with a cookie).
