RTFM. :-)

***USENET SETUP***
A NOTE ABOUT USENET PASSWORDS:
A very few usenet readers require a username and password. The program
now looks for this and supplies your email address and password, if it
is questioned. If you need to give information OTHER than that, the
program also looks for a file called USENET.NFO. Using a text editor
type in on a single line your user name for this reader a Bar character (|)
and your password for the reader. Place this file in the message directory!

I don't use nettamer myself, but news.freewwweb.com works for me
with both uka_ppp and Yan (Ka9q) using "authinfo". Uka_ppp is pretty
picky about the type of nntpserver it can handle. NNRP (INN) is one
that it likes.

As far as I can tell, freewwweb provides a standard PPP connection.
Everything I have tried has worked. Mail and news can be slow since
the servers are not local.
