Good day,
Concerning a newsgroup, please be aware that an interner provider
does not necessarily have to provide access to *every* newsgroup on the Net.
It is perfectly acceptable for one to select a subset due to space or other
considerations. There is no assurance that a specific newsgroup would be
available to everyone who has an IP address.
As for a news reader, this is a different application from a web
browser, although there are browsers that allow you to access newsgroups.
Netscape is one browser that does this. WINVN is a separate application
with the express function of accessing newsgroups. I haven't paid attention
to others because I prefer WINVN. I have an IBM compatible system with
Win95. This ISN'T an advertisement, just an answer to a questions.
Take care,
