Hi Jim,

NNTP newsreading clients exist in many forms. One other popular one
is Mozilla Seamonkey, which is a suite that includes a newsreader.
Another popular one is XNews:

Forte Agent was popular at one time. I don't use a gui newsreader
myself, but text mode is definitely not for everyone, so I won't
attempt to steer you there.

The group news.software.readers discusses such software.

Best Regards,
