on authentication ...from my news server manager:
---------Quoted message start-----------
The commands your news reader/posting utilities have to give the news
server are:
authinfo user <whatever>
authinfo pass <whatever>
If your news utility can't do that, then you can't post.
---------Quoted message end-----------
Souper doesn't yet so you can't. :(
