It doesn't have a subscription option per sea, but it does allow for 
username / password to restrict access.  This is what Borland and Corel

It's my understanding that the functional end of this is all being handeled by 
the NNTP bridge solution we're implimenting.

Please reopen if I"m incorrect.
