        Yep! It's possible. But not simple :-)

        I do it with several Perl scripts of my own. I plan to tidy up and
release them when I've solved some problems (as, for example, using them with
another MTA different from QMail :-)).

        The process, once installed, is quite transparent: you get articles
from the news server with a script, and configure which newsgroups to get with
a .newsrc, similar to the one used by slrn. And to reply, you reply to a fake
adddress containing the name of the group. It works, though I'm yet giving it
the last polishing touches :-)

        But anyway, it's not trivial. I can give you the scripts to try for
yourself, but I think they're not ready for general use yet.
