Presumably gnus-slave would still work. My home directory at work is
in AFS space and I can run xemacs and gnus on any number of machines.
Thus, I've got in the habit of only running gnus from my desktop
workstation and gnus-slave anywhere else. This hasn't seemed to cause
any harm even if I don't actually have gnus running on my desktop when
I run gnus-slave. That is, the next time I run gnus on my desktop, it
finds the slave .newsrcs and incorporates their info. Maybe I'm just
getting lucky.
