Step 1:
Adding a Server
|
In order to read news, you need to configure at least one news server. To
do this, enter the configuration area by pressing the Servers button.
This will bring up the server list editor. Here you can define any number
of NNTP servers. If you have previously been using tin or another
newsreader that supports the NNTPSERVER environment variable, then
you can use the Get Env button to import a news server from the
NNTPSERVER variable. Otherwise, add a new news server by clicking on the
Add Server button and typing in the name of your news
server. Most ISPs provide news service to their customers. Your ISP
should have provided you with the name of your news server when you
registered for internet service. It is possible that just using "news"
will work here if you have a properly set up domain list in your internet
software and your news server is named news.yourdomain.com.
Consult the documentation for your internet software for more information
on domain lists.
No further configuration of the news server is necessary.
