About a year ago, I created a web page on my website

that time, I located the verizon's instructions, and
posted the direct link on my page to their newsgroup
instruction page. That page is now gone, and I could
not find any such info on their pathetic web site.
But obviously if you are still using it, then they
still have it :-)

Ok then Mitch, if you want to use verizon's
newsgroups, George has given the server name for
you. It's "news.verizon.net".

Verizon used to provide newsgroups, but it looks like they don't anymore.

Interesting. I'm working through Verizon's newserver right now. Have
been for years. Just have to put "news.verizon.net" in the server name
field of T-bird.

Unless your work server blocks newsgroup access, your home login should
work regardless of location. If they do block direct newsgroup access,
then either Gooogle Groups, or a pay for newsgroups web service (like
MailandNews) are your only choices...

And google doesnt let me see header info.


In Google Groups, hit the "More Options" link at the top of any message,
then choose "Show Original" to see the message with its headers.

Back when I had a Comcast account, I was able to access it from my computer at
work. All I had to do with Netscape was to enter the Comcast server name in the
appropriate field of the account settings information. Netscape is based on
Mozilla, which makes Thunderbird these days. If you can get T-bird set up at
home, you can copy the settings at work.
