Well, I'd recommend AGENT, I believe FREE AGENT will also allow the
Approved by Header, etc.. And FREE Agent is FREE, so you can't really
complain, you can get it at http://www.forteinc.com/

The ONLY problem with AGENT that I have found so far is the 32-bit version
will NOT pass the Newsgroups line to the FAQ server. I've changed it to
over 256 characters per line and it still puts a CR in the line.

You may have the same problem, I'm running Windows NT 4.0 Server, Service
Pack 5, TRUE 32-bit OS.

So for posting the FAQ I have to load AGENT 16-bit that is still in my
Windows 3.11 Partition and it sends it successfully....
