Accessing other news servers

My ISP has a *very* unreliable news server. I'm reluctant to hunt down
another ISP, since I have no assurance anyone else would be any better.
My wife has an account with another ISP, Mindspring, which is supposed
to be one of the better ones in the area. I probably would have
switched to them by now, except for their lack of a shell account.

That lack of a shell account is becoming less and less of an issue, now
that I'm using Souper 95 to grab my mail and news, though...

Anyway...to my question. What would I need to do to try to access the
news server on Mindspring while I'm connected to America.Net? Is that
even possible? Or would I have to connect to Mindspring to access their
news server? Would it perhaps be possible to pull news from both
servers, one after the other, and then let Yarn reject the duplicates?

Any suggestions or comments would be most helpful, and greatly
appreciated as well.
