NEWS mode in GNU Emacs?

[neath at solar-1.csc.ti.com]

I am running GNU emacs 18.52 on a Sun 4 under OS 4.0. I have just moved
from a TI Explorer where I used to get my USENET news feed via a VAX host.
I now want to get the same access from GNU emacs on my Sun.

The command "M-x rnews" places emacs into NEWS mode.  However, I have no
information on how to configure the package to find the news feed on the
VAX. Has anyone else solved this problem? If not from emacs, is there a
public domain news package for the Sun 4?
