  In spite of the "wrong group" knee-jerk reaction (my first thought,
too), I recommend you use C-news as shipped, grab NNTP off ftp.uu.net,
and compile. All you really have to know is if you are going to be a
server (people read news from you), or client (in which case you don't
run C-news, just a news reader).

  If you want to be a client you might just grab a copy of Xrn, a decent
reader, and port that.

  I don't know that anyone's sone this, but I believe all the socket
stuff is there, finally.
