They should - the article numbers refer to the numbers on the
server. (If they *don't* match something's probably broken with your
ISP's news server).

Works like a charm. I generally read news online from my PC
using slrn; when I visit my parents (who have a computer, a modem, and
an Internet account) I upload my .newsrc to my shell account, telnet
in, and read my news using my shell account; when I visit my in-laws
(who have neither a computer, nor a modem) I use souper to fetch my
news and read it when I return from vacation using Yarn. (If anybody
wants some tips on unattended DOS or OS/2 SOUP-fetching scripts feel
free to drop me a line, but don't expect a reply 'til after Yule, as
I'm heading out of town for a couple of weeks).
