Hi
Looks like you're right. Debug log looks like:

May  3 00:19:31 localhost fetchnews[683]: <200 Primenet NNRP Linkup
Established for @206.132.53.214 () (need authentication). 
May  3 00:19:31 localhost fetchnews[683]: >MODE READER^M

May  3 00:19:31 localhost fetchnews[683]: <480 Authentication required for
command 

Called ISP tech support and was told they don't support linux _or_ my
Windows news reader (Gravity), since the problem occurs with
Windows also.

Looks like I'm in the market for a new ISP. 
Many thanks.
