Drizzle Internet NW-FAQ-Reading newsgroups?

How do I read Internet newsgroups?

Note that you must be dialed up to Drizzle to read newsgroups; you cannot read them if you are on a LAN (unless the LAN itself is dialed up to Drizzle) or dialed up to another ISP.

If you are using Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, you can use it to read newsgroups. Check the Help functions of these browsers for more information. Note that the news server for Drizzle is "news.drizzle.com".

If you are running a Telnet or SSH connection to Drizzle, you can use the UNIX "tin" command to read Internet newsgroups. If you find that all of your newsgroups are empty, type "rtin", and they will be recreated for you.

To save space, Drizzle does not provide access to every newsgroup. However, if you want to read a newsgroup that we don't offer, just send us e-mail and we can request that it be added.
