| You might be interested in NewsPortal or WebNews:
| 
|   NewsPortal is a PHP script enables the access to a newsserver (by
|   NNTP) from a webpage. It allows you to combine web-forums and
|   newsgroups. The script is also suitable for presentation of announce
|   newsgroups on web pages, without having the user notice that he is
|   in fact accessing a news server.

| 
|   WebNews is a CGI-based NNTP newsreader written in Perl, designed for
|   ease of use (minimal configuration required) and multiple concurrent
|   user accesses.

| 
| I'm using WebNews on two News servers myself. I've changed it to
| include a CSS file, to use accesskey elements and to have rudimentary
| thread support.

Do the terms of the license allow you to share the modified code? Or
have you fed the changes back to the author?
