Forte Agent is a pay program, somewhere around the sum of $20.
Freeagent is, well, free. It doesn't have some of the niceties of

They're using whatever they feel like. What's a "tp for the software"?
Agent, Free Agent, Gravity, Outlook Express, Knode, Sylpheed-Claws, Xnews,
Thunderbird, Gnus, all work fine.

I use NewsWatcher. It is very efficient in handling news. It is free
to download on the web.

Agent here but I had it before AOL stopped supporting NGs.

==================
Thought AO-hell stopped carring newsgroups... and since I do not use
AOl I have no idea of their in house reader ...
BUT I find Forte Agent works for me.......(its free and works)
No idea of who offers access to NG's at a resonable price...
