News Server

54kroc · 2011-04-19 11:55:20

I'm currently using Astraweb as my news server but a buddy was telling me that as I'm using Eircom I could use their news server instead. Anyone know if this is possible and would I still be able to access any news group?

Yep, for news, not for binaries.

Try it, news1.eircom.net, port 119, no username or password, it'll tell you everything is out of retention
