I have just recieved an email from bigpond giving detailed instructions
on how to connect to bigpond ng so it appears that the stories on its

not to repost.
I still can not recieve it but that is probably a problem between
seamonkey, my modem and bigpond server,I think it needs my password but
I can not figure a way to make it ask for it.
What happens when you try to telnet the news server?
You should get something like
> telnet news.bigpond.com 119
200 Welcome Message (<news server id>)
If you do connect, use "quit" without the quotes to exit.
This assumes that your secret instructions did not change the port
number from the default of 119.
I get
Connecting To news.bigpond.com...Could not open connection to the host,
on port 119: Connect failed
djc
