Depends... If your news server access to Freeserve ISP is password
protected, then perhaps they allow access for transmission through the
internet. If it isn't, I doubt it.

There's one problem with that scenario: VSoup does not delete
successfully transmitted messages from the news.msg file. It leaves
the file untouched if one article fails to transmit. On the other hand
there should be no problem to transmit news article multiple times to
USENET, because the articles are uniquely identified by their
Message-ID.
