It's easily done with minuet though. Mime.cfg already contains a line that
can be activated, after downloading and installing minuarc.exe (or minuset,
I'm not really sure) from http://www.xs4all.nl/~rjscheer.
No trouble connecting with minuet: It uses bootp on the epppd connection.
Mind the directories while installing.
Then it may be tricky to get a newsgroup list from a server to work, since
minuet needs it alphabetically ordered. So either find a way to order lines
or manually build a list from groups that you want to link to. (Personally I
use a renamed copy of the list that forte free agent for win3.1 builds. see
www.forteinc.com for a download.) The 1stone.archive from news.xs4all.nl
contains some 30,000 groups. If you want it, tell me where to mail it.
