I have been using Thunderbird for my home email client

FC6, things have been going downhill reading news.  I
have one newsgroup account through the ISP and one
through usenetserver.com.  The usenetserver.com account
requires a login and password, the ISP (Cox) does not.
The usenetserver account usually gets a password failed
message and then makes me reenter the long login and
password.  Often, it just gets errors connecting with
the server.  At first, I suspected the server site, but
a program I wrote which uses NNTP to download files
off newsgroups connects just fine.  I tried deleting my
mail and news password file and rebuilding it, but that
did not help.
  One options is to bring up Wire Shark and try to track
down the problem.  The other it to find a different
newsgroup reader.   Most of the time at home  I am looking at either
comics or the railroad pictures newsgroups so binary
processing is a required.

Any recommendations of news readers you like?

It is the best newsreader I have found on any platform.
