I think that's right. I use SeaMonkey for Web-browsing, email and Usenet. In the "Mail & Newsgroups" part, the Usenet settings say: connect to port: 119 at: news.something [the server], and port=110 for email with my ISP. According to Wikipedia, port 110 is for POP3 protocol email, port 119 is for the NNTP protocol and port 80 is for the HTTP protocol: < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers > David Bernier
