We are providing an internet service to a number of vision impaired people
who dial up via modem and can access a Pine mailbox and services such as
lynx and telnet. 

I have been asked "is there an off line reader which would work with
Pine". My answer was, no I don't think so - but I thought I should ask all
you "out there" in case I'm wrong. We are running Pine 3.95 under SCO 4.2
... Clients generally use telix or procomm for terminal emulation.

I'm not sure what you mean by an off-line reader, and I've never tried
it, but you might want to look at PC-PINE.  You'll need an IMAP
server.

In general, an offline reader can connect to the news server download and
store messages and then disconnect from the news server.  So you are not
accessing the news server everytime you move to at new message, the
messages are stored on  your hard disk.
