- Yes. Your ISP is the system.

-
- Yes, conferences are the newsgroups.
-
- >So do I have to setup user infor for every single newsgroup I want to read
- >(gulp)
-
- No, you don't have to setup the user info for each newsgroup, just for
- each system. i.e. for a BBS, your ISP, another BBS, Fidonet, etc.
- Much of that can be simply handled by setting up the global settings
- and keeping the default to use global settings.
-
- >And where's the new newsgroup for thor ?
-
- alt.sys.amiga.thor
-
- Apparently there are a number of ISPs which don't carry the group yet.
- If you can't find it in the list, then you'll have to request your ISP
- to start carrying it. There seems to be an average of 20 messages a
- day right now.
