Well, I'm not sure about pulling articles from multiple servers, but my GUI newsreader of choice is Pan. However, it never reached a stable or "gold" version, and it has been stagnant for some time, as the author doesn't seem to have time to deal with it these days. Many patches have been posted in various places online, but the version in the ports tree crashes frequently, at least on my 5.3-BETA7/STABLE (previously 5.2.1) box. I'd love if someone good at programming made it into a decent newsreader ... am learning what I can .... - jt
