NNTP seems to be the poor cousin for getting clients. I haven't found a Linux client worth changing to yet. Grant. -- http://bugs.id.au/

I've tried several different NNTP programs and always went back to Netscape. This is the 4.8 version which I think was the last version released. I was in a hurry when I moved to a different computer. I was using the 4.76 for Windows 95 that I first installed years ago. This time I just installed the software and created the user name I had on the last computer, then overwrote all of the data files. It saved me a couple hours, but I guess it was time for the slight change. The only other NNTP program I use is Xnews to download the multipart files on ABSE and ABPR newsgroups. Don't take this the wrong way, but when I see your full name with the 'C', I think of Calvin & Hobbs. :) -- Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge.

Actually, the stripy guy is Hobbes with an 'e', as in Thomas Hobbes the philosopher. TH was the guy who thought that natural man lived by the law of the jungle. His most famous quote is that "the life of man [in a state of nature] is solitary, nasty, brutish, and short."
