usenet reading and posting software for mac

Billy

All I can find for reading and posting to usenet newsgroups is
this lame GOGGLE account that takes many hours to show my posts.

Can anyone direct me to where I can get a decent freeware USENET
reading and posting software program for MACINTOSH users. I am stuck
with OS 9.

I used to have a windows machine and I used TRUMPET NEWSREADER. That
was a great little program and it allowed me to use fake email.

I have outlook express but it sucks.

I don't know anything about Mac software, but while you are looking,
you can post to this forum in real time anonymously at
http://www.sixfiles.com/forum/
You do have to register but you can provide whatever info you like and
it is not checked.

Also, be aware that google is developing a new version of google
groups in which posts appear very soon after entry, almost in real
time; again you have to register; in google's case they do check to
make sure your email address is valid, so use someting like
(e-mail address removed) so you can check on the web and reply to their
confirmation email but still remain anonymous.

Google can :)

Putting 'mac newsreader freeware' in (without the quotes) gives some
decent hits, including this one:

http://www.macorchard.com/usenet.html

which has a mix of freeware and sharew*re apps.

Netscape 4.x, 6 and 7.0 can run on OS 9, and also Mozilla versions up to
1.2.1.

Try Newswatcher from Mac Orchard (Jo posted the link). That's the one I
used to use on the older Mac OS's.
