Which operating system do you use and which newsreader do you (want

If you're not tied to a newsreader which processes SOUP, you might
want to use a local 'proxy' news server like Hamster (if Windows) or
Leafnode (if Linux). These local news servers sit between your
newsreader (any NNTP newsreader) and your real news server (the news
server of your NSP (News Service Provider), i.e. in your case BWH).
FYI, in the old days I used uqwk on UNIX with the YARN newsreader on
DOS. These days (since 2003) I use Hamster (on Windows) with the tin
newsreader (under Cygwin on Windows).
I wanted to experiment with MultiMail (in Linux or something), because it
looks cute.
Maybe it would've worked like
proxy news server <-> uqwk <-> mm
If uqwk would compile of course.
But Leafnode doesn't support TLS too.
Uqwk can also get news from a directory.
