Every time I've used SASL (usually with Sendmail) it provides a backend 
for the protocol's native authentication.  As such, I don't think 
clients need to know anything about SASL.  Rather you need your client 
to support standard protocol authentication.

I'm using Thunderbird with authentication against a news.grc.com which 
(to the best of my knowledge) is INN (I think) running on Windows.

So I would expect that any news client that supports NNTP authentication 
would work.
