This section pertains to those who can telnet but whose news boxes don't get a.g.u.d for whatever reason. If you have a WWW client, true, you can often access newsgroups that way, but usually the news URLs (in the format news:name.of.group) point the client to your local news machine, and if you don't get the group in the first place... you get the idea. It used to be true that one could telnet to library.wustl.edu and use the public Lynx browser there to read Usenet news, including the alt.

Where is this "d" group or "discussion group" that everybody talks about? I can't find it on my news server.

Sure you can. When you crosspost, the information in your "newsgroups" header propagates to the other servers along with your post. As long as your server carries at least ONE of the groups listed in the header, then it should accept your post and propagate it (and all of the header information) on to other servers. And if those other servers carry the decade groups, then pointers to your post will appear in all the specified newsgroups. If you're using Agent (versions .

Many ISPs, or Internet Service Providers, provide news server access as part of their basic services. You should contact your ISP and ask them if this service is included as part of the package you are purchasing from them. If your ISP does not provide news server access, then you can purchase access from a commercial news service provider. For a list of such providers, see the following link: The University of Berlin provides free access to their news servers, for registered users.

You probably can. When you crosspost, the information in your "newsgroups" header propagates to the other servers along with your post. As long as your server carries at least ONE of the groups listed in the header, and you make that valid group the first in your newsgroups listing, it should accept your post and propagate it (and all of the header information) on to other servers. If other servers carry those groups, then pointers to your post will appear in all the specified newsgroups.

Yes, a few sites permit anyone to use their servers, usually by mistake. You can often find lists of such servers by doing a web search for "public news servers", though you'll be lucky to find one which is publicly accessible, and has a good news feed. alternative is to subscribe to one of the commercial news services, such as NewsGuy or Deja.com. These provide superior news feeds, generally have long retention times, and some of them actively filter spam.

Try downloading and using our setup disk, that often solves the problem as it save the password separately from dialup networking. As far as we can tell this is a bug in windows 95. The only work around we know of is to turn on windows passwords. you will get a new windows password screen while booting (just click ok) and the "save password" selection in the dialer will not be grayed out any more.

If you're reading this on the web and alt.tv.sentinel isn't available on your news server, send a brief, polite note to your news admin or ISP support personnel and request that they add it. In the meantime, you can read newsgroups via the web at Deja News or Newzbot. If your ISP remains uncooperative, the Newzbot site can also help you find another server.

Cox HSI does not officially support the Linux operating system. However, the service works quite well (some say even better) under Linux. For help setting up your Linux system to use Cox HSI, please visit our All Things Unix forum.

The first thing to do is make sure you have an updated list of all the newsgroups that your server provides. If you're using Agent, this is accomplished by going to Online|Refresh Groups List -or- Online|Get New Groups After you have successfully retrieved all of the groups that your server carries, do a search for "alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.requests" (not including the quotes). If you find it, then subscribe, pull headers, and you're good to go.

The news server periodically runs a program called "expire" which removes old articles from the news spool. The final phase of the expire program rebuilds the "active file," the file containing the list of newsgroups and articles on the server. To prevent customers from getting an obsolete copy of the active file, the server refuses connections to it, normally five to ten minutes. When the new active file is built, the server allows connections once again.

First, select Configuration|Login Options from the main menu. Next click on the "News Servers..." button. Then select "Default" from the drop-down menu. The Default Connection Options dialog should now appear. Enter the new news server name into the NNTP Server textbox and enter any other information that is required by the new news server. Then click on OK and OK again.

No, VBNet does not have a news server. We recommend that you visit a web site like www.dejanews.com for newsgroup access.

Point your news reader to news.lbdsl.net You do not need a username or password as your access is determined by your IP address. We allow each user 3 concurrent connections to our server. First, make sure your service includes news group access. This includes all ADSL SOHO, SDSL, IDSL, and T1 services. If you have a residential ADSL line, you do not have access to our news server, and you would need to upgrade your service. Make sure you are connected via your LB DSL line.

Anyone (including AOL users) with a connection to the Internet can access our private NNTP server worldwide at anytime they wish. There are a few very rare exceptions where certain strict network firewalls may be set to reject a connection to a news server port. Again, that is a very rare situation and if permitted may be defeated with AntiFirewall™.

of Apache 1.3, CGI scripts are essentially not buffered. Every time your script does a "flush" to output data, that data gets relayed on to the client. Some scripting languages, for example Perl, have their own buffering for output - this can be disabled by setting the $| special variable to 1. Of course this does increase the overall number of packets being transmitted, which can result in a sense of slowness for the end user. Prior to 1.

No. Only patients who establish that they are residents of Oregon can participate if they meet certain criteria.

In those rare cases we use what we like to call the buddy system. Basically, we find the most energetic person on the team and then, using the utmost care and tenderness, we duct-tape* the sourpuss, "tandem parachutist style", to the back of the go-getter. It works great! Due to a recent “sticky situation,” our legal department no longer allows us to duct-tape two people together...too much hair loss, or something.
