yes, I use my NTL connexion to access Claranews servers
every day Just put the relevant settings into your news
client.

P.

No.

Freeserve do not let you post to their newsgroup server unless you have
dialled up to them and are not witholding your phone number. This is in
their terms and conditions.

Most of the Freeserve newsgroups are carried on the NTL news servers, if
that's what you want.

Claranews is *not* Freeserve (now Wanadoo).

No, you will need to be logged onto a Freeserve account
to access their newsgroups.

That would be an NTL account? Normally the permissions to access an ISPs
server are automatic (fixed broadband or username/password) to the ISPs
own servers and not those of others.

If you wish to access servers that are not from your ISP, you would need
to know if Freeserve allows access with a username / password.

There are some ISPs like Clara that offer a news only account that works
fine from other ISPs. There are a handfull of others oftem mentioned in
past posts in 24HSHD.

Read the question again. The original poster is with NTL,
on broadband. He will NOT be able to use news.freeserve.com
to download a complete list of newsgroups on the Freeserve
news server, whilst connected to NTL -- he is not talking about
viewing the individual "freeserve.blah.blah" newsgroups, which
*may* be accessible on some other servers, but likely not
many. I repeat: Freeserve require you to be connected to
a Freeserve account to access the Freeserve news server.

But they do not download.
