I believe that JVNCnet's subscription Electronic mail service (Tiger Mail)
uses Eudora/pop. Eudora is a MAC/pop client. (Pop = Post Office Protocol.)

As for Net news - They also offer NNTP service, as well as slip.
One could use (a commercial product) Intercon's MAC/SLIP and then run
Newsgrazer (oops that's the NeXT version). I forget what the name of
the MAC based newsreader is. (I believe that both are shareware.)
I believe that the newsreader may be include in Intercon's distribution.
It was originally a hypercard stack distributed with MAC/TCP. It might
also be in the info-mac archives.

I don't know what the other providers offer as their base setup.
