Thanks all, for the input. You're welcome, but two points: 1. Using a web-based interface to a newsgroup is, in my view, a very poor thing to do. It is *much* slower and harder to use than a newsreader. 2. I see from your headers that you use outlook express as your newsreader. Outlook express, like almost all newsreaders, can very easily use multiple news servers. You can, and should, add aioe.org to it. "Ken Blake, MVP" wrote in message ...

Ken,
I really do not like reading newsgroups via the web, but it appeared to be the only way to see what was going on. Howver, I've set up aioe.org as you suggested. Am now a happy camper.
