Thanks! JoshYou should be able to access this newsgroup and any others via any e-mail program that offers a newsreader, like Thunderbird. -- The Only Good Spammer is a Dead one!! Have you hunted one down today? (c) 2007 I Kill Spammers, Inc. A Rot In Hell Co.If I enter comp.sys.apple2 for the address in my newsreader it never connects. Is this the right address I should be putting in?
Not knowing your news-reader, it's hard to say exactly what steps to take. In Thunderbird I have to create a news account which requires the location of the news server something like news.someprovider.net. You are then required to load the servers list of available groups. You can then select which groupd(s) you would like to subscribe to. Some readers will allow you to search the groups list using wildcards or partial names.
To post, your reader will need email capability or access to your email program and proper connection to your email provider.
Alternately, you could join at a2central.com and read apple2 the groups from there.
Google also provides access and archiving of news-groups which gives you another web based method to a large variety of groups.
