Have you tried commercial Agent 1.5? The multiple servers not being
there are still a bitch, but there's an easy workaround. if you start
the exe with as starting diurectory, say, Agent_lugnet, instead of
Agent, that should allow you to do a completely separate setup of
server, data, etc, all with the same executable files. I personally
just copied the directory and have double sets of executables. This
wastes 1.5 meg or so, but on the 150 megs of Newsgroup data I keep
around (I like to keep msgs for a month at least - and Lugnet is set
to never expire, I believe) that's a drop on a hot plate.

Hmmm... The difficult part appears to be the 10119 port. I can't find
rtight away what the setting is for that. I'll ask around.
