They don't even provide newsgroup access? I can understand them blocking certain alt.binary newsgroups but not any other news group.

Which BT service are you on?

Just input the newsgroup server that BT give you. If they dont run a newsgroup server then you need to subscribe to a pay service.

Never used the software but its probably looking for the address of the newsgroup server you wish to use.

Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
