If it wasn't such an old thread,
http://news.ecomstation.com/thread.php?group=ecomstation.support.networking
would work, but the web portal seems limited to recent threads.

With SeaMonkey or TB, configuring news is a lot easier than getting
registered on a typical web forum. Just go to settings and add
news.ecomstation.com as a server. Once that's done, just right click on
the server folder to choose whichever groups you are interested in. It
works just like email from there, except you don't download message
bodies in bulk, but just the headers when you open a group. That does
take some time each first time because those groups have such large
quantities of unexpired messages.
