- Hi Chris J Schnurr,
- On 29-mrt-96 10:59:51 you wrote about Thor - Whats a conference whats a system?.
-
- CJS> Thor has settings for systems and conferences.
- CJS> is a system my Internet account (like, me.amiga.com)
-
- Yes, because Thor is a multi format mailer they had to call it something
- :.) a system can also be a BBS where you could poll (send/receive) for
- example your FIDO-net mail (or any other mail format).
-
- CJS> and a conference - is this each particular newsgroup - like,
- CJS> alt.pave.the.earth
- CJS> comp.sys.amiga.emulations, etc...
-
- Right again :.)
- In an internet systen (TCP, SOUP, UUCP) you'll also have an EMail
- conference, which is whre all your personal Email will land in.
-
- CJS> So do I have to setup user infor for every single newsgroup I want to
- CJS> read (gulp)
-
- No, just in the System settings, but you can change them for every
- conference if you like or need to.
-
- CJS> Or is each system a newsgroup ??
-
- Nope, a system is a collection of conferences of the same type.
-
- CJS> And where's the new newsgroup for thor ?
-
- alt.sys.amiga.thor
