	Netscape's brain-dead nntp server?  Netscape News is INN 1.4
on steroids.  In fact, it's only INN with SSL and a HTML-based
configuration system thrown in (and I'm still asking myself why they
are still asking 995$US for it ;-)).  

	However, LIST ACTIVE GROUP was implemented only in very recent
(> '94), patch-based 1.4 versions of INN.  Why did Netscape didn't
implement those patches is an open question.
