If you have a WinNT/2K server to use, you can use IIS to host your newsgroup. Just check out the online help (it's pretty easy though from what I remember when I did it) or hit Technet for a how-to. You can also lockdown who can see what using your workgroup/domain permissions for simpler administration. As for the client, OE works great with it.
