I don't know where you'll find one - I'd just look at the websites for the
manufacturers I was interested in & see whether they support Win2003. I use
Cisco Aironets for wireless and I know the Cisco card will work with
Win2003....

Try using OE or another newsreader client instead of the web interface -
it's a lot better. The MS public server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can
subscribe to as many groups as you wish. It's a lot easier to do nearly
everything this way, including searching, which is always a good idea to do
before you post, as well as mark messages to be watched, and filter based on
replies to your posts.
