The message

I fel happy for you, but perhaps you could tell me if either version will
accept a user name and pasword for a newsgroup, and if so where the
settings are located within the overall setings?

Not sure what you mean - you just down and upload new posts to
newsgroups - there's no username or password needed.

However, that might be the way independent news *SERVERS* operate.

I@ve got an Eee too, but haven't set up a newsreader on that, yet - this
is a rather heavy full tower - on wheels, but not mobile thereby!


If it is the Linux version you already have Knode there - jut well
concealed.

If you start a terminal session (cntrl+alt+t) and then type knode in the
terminal window it will start.

Safest to type 'nohup knode&' as this detaches it from the terminal session
and allows it to run independantly.

knode has the configuration settings for authentication to a third party
news server.

I would prefer Pan, however, as I like the interface better.
