Why not set up a guest account and let your users ssh in and run their
newsreader through a tunnel?  There is ssh software for all popular
platforms:

quote of the day...

  There is no web site that has a UI that comes close to the lamest
  newsreader in the world....they don't even let you do basic things
  like "don't show me messages I've already read".  It's a continual
  source of amazement to me (though it shouldn't be) what people will
  settle for.
