Thanks, so much, Hugh, but I'm still stuck trying to connect and update
the usenet servers.
So, the above is as far as I've configured.
POINT: I'm not using my ISP for anything, but a different set of servers
all together.......same server group, though.
My ISP is directway(hughes), but I don't use them for anything other
than accessing the net.
Also, I used the settings that garlic.com gave me for my mail and news.
MUST I use my ISP for this?????
I'll keep playing around with it. I still get the same error message: 502 -
no permission.
Don't understand that, though.......unless one has to have special
permission to access the news server.
Thanks for all your help, Hugh.
Jim
