Thanks for both of your reply and I am trying to get connected with
this Usenet group by way of news.eternal-september.org but I could not
able to do it. I don’t know what I am doing wrong. I have registered
in the above link and I got a mail from that site with the following
details.
Eternal-September.org can be accessed via the following server names
and ports:
----------------------------------
Server name: news.eternal-september.org
----------------------------------
Port : 119
Port : 563 (encrypted)
----------------------------------
Server name: reader80.eternal-september.org
----------------------------------
Port : 80
----------------------------------
Server name: reader443.eternal-september.org
----------------------------------
Port : 443 (encrypted)
The number of concurrent connections to the server is limited to 4.
And I received my Username and Password also. But I don’t know how to
get connected using the above details. I am using Widows Live Mail
for Accessing the Newsgroups, If required I can use the Outlook
Express for accessing this groups. Any web based article is there by
explaining the connecting method.
Thanks for your help.
Awaiting for your valuable reply.
