The NNTP support in Mystic is for the Mystic message bases and accessing them via NNTP.

If you want to pull newsgroups in to Mystic you either need to set up an NNTP-FTN gateway OR ask Paul. I'm pulling my usenet feed from him, but there are plenty of other ones as well. Allen Prunty also can provide a usenet feed.

Thank you for the info...I'll talk to Paul about getting
a feed from him. Thanks again.

I would like to setup usenet on the mystic bbs.
I have trimmed down everything else, as I was not really getting anywhere and seriously getting frustrated. So I got it down to fsxnet, dovenet and local
on mystic and sbbs. Both I am sure are running fine (at least on sbbs I know for sure they are) I haven't received any packets on mystic yet.
So...I wanted to setup Usenet on here. I am signed up with a free server, simply because of being 7,665 miles away, it still takes 1+ seconds for the traffic to get here, and sometimes it could be a lot. So it might make more sense to do it closer.

May I have the instructions?

David.

Sure, but give me a few days as I am going to make some changes to settings
at this end and want the docs to reflect that when I am done.

Best, Paul

Hey Paul,

I'd be interested in setting up usenet as well...not sure how to do it though.

Thank you
