Hi, I would doubt very much if usenet groups would be used to submit assignments, but there may be local groups used for discussion purposes. Tin won't have ready SSL support, but it could be added using Sltunnel. You really wouldn't want to use Tin in terminal anyway - TRN would be a much better choice, or SLRN.

If Larry needs this for newsgroups for his classes with SSL support it is probably because it will be used for receiving and submitting assignments in secure fashion from students. I thought of tin, but I'm not sure how the secure aspect would work running in terminal. Is there any ssh or sftp equivalent mode of interaction there? Just my thoughts.
