newsreaders that work well with speakup

[Klarich, Terry]

You might try rrn.  Or it might be called rn.  It used to be on ftp.uu.net
in the old days.  You will have to compile and configure it though.  You
will also need nntp1.5.12 if you want rn to use the nntp protocol.  Which,
is probably what you want.  This package was written by Larry Wall, the same
guy who wrote perl.  One of the things he is best known for is his very well
done configure scripts.  If you have ever compiled perl, then you will know
what I am talking about.

Rn is a very simple news reader to use.  There are no menus.  everything is
single key stroke commands.  This is what I use on my linux machine.

Subject: newsreaders that work well with speakup


Hey all. I'm trying to find a usenet newsreader that works well with
speakup. I'm currently using pine for both mail and news, and though it
works, it isn't as full-featured in the news area as I'd like. I've tried
tin, but can't get speakup to track the cursor when I arrow through
thread or article listings. Any suggestions or comments about readers?

Thanks,
Chris, who anxiously awaits the end of this semester
