NNTPlink

From the README file:
NNTPlink is a news transmission client designed to replace nntpxmit. It is capable of emulating nntpxmit exactly, closely or not at all (IMHO, this is the best mode of course. :-) Instead of invoking nntpxmit every <n> minutes you can can start up NNTPlink once and it will run until killed. It keeps the connection to the remote NNTP server open, only closing it after a specified amount of idle time or after a specified number of articles have been offered to the remote server.
NNTPlink was written by David Alden (alden@math.ohio-state.edu) and is available from:
ftp://math.ohio-state.edu/pub/nntplink

INN

From the README:
InterNetNews is a complete Usenet system. The cornerstone of the package is innd, an NNTP server that multiplexes all I/O. Think of it as an nntpd merged with the B News inews, or as a C News relaynews that reads multiple NNTP streams. Newsreading is handled by a separate server, nnrpd, that is spawned for each client. Both innd and nnrpd have some slight variances from the NNTP protocol; see the manpages.
It was written by Rich $alz (rsalz@uunet.uu.net) and is available from:
ftp://ftp.uu.net/news/nntp/inn

Perl

From the README:
Perl is a language that combines some of the features of C, sed, awk and shell.
Perl was written by Larry Wall (ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/perl-4.036.tar.gz
