Using Newsgroups
You can view and post newsgroup items from GroupWise®. Newsgroups are similar to bulletin
boards on the Internet. You can find newsgroups about almost any topic. Newsgroups are similar
to GroupWise shared folders, except instead of sharing information within your department or
company, you can share information with anyone on the Internet.
To use newsgroups, you must have access to an NNTP server. Your Internet Service Provider
(ISP) will give you the correct server information and login name (if necessary). You can also
search the Internet for a list of free NNTP servers that you can use.
