Newsgroups and iBurst

[Deanos]

Anybody know how to get this working or what newsgroups can be used with iBurst?

There are no newsgroups from Iburst itself, like the ADSL SAIX, IS or UUNET newsgroups. These are private ones only for people signed up to those services.

But you can use any normal newsgroup that is open to the public, I dont know how to set that up, but im shure there are tutorials online. It isnt Iburst specific so you just connect like a normal person, your connection is irrelevant I suppose.

You have access to nntp.uunet.co.za for news.

Tried that, but they all want user names from those specific accounts...

Thanks for the help Mercury.

hmm, so how do you go about connectin to that?

I have heard this before, but I didnt know how to get it working. Do you need a newsreader app?

I was told to use a package called Grabit
