According to RFC-977, the LIST command is supported by an NNTP server (i.e. is not optional). All you need to do is use telnet to open a connection to 119 and issue "list" capturing to a text file. There's your active file.

I've switched providers for our Internet. The previous provider allowed desktops to pull messages. This provider provides a news feed but according to their last email, they do not provide an active file.
