That's exactly why I prefer slrn. I used to use MT-NewsWatcher's "Shared
newsrc" feature to share my newsrc file via FTP, which allowed me to run
MT-NW on any machine on my LAN, or even outside of my LAN, to read news
with all read counts and so on synchronized. Now that I can't use MT-NW,
I use slrn, which only requires an SSH connection in a terminal window,
which I am very comfortable with and usually have open anyway. As a
bonus, all of my score settings and editor settings are also now shared
among any machine I use to access slrn. I can even use a WYSIWYG editor
like TextWrangler to write posts if I like, complete with automatic
correction, spell checking, and so on (though I prefer vim). It
certainly ain't for everyone, but for someone like me who is at home on
the command line, it's great. : )
