15-Jun-06 I've asked this before, but my memory [the brain kind] is failing me. I have Agent/Free agent by Forté. The program lists all of the Microsoft newsgroups but no others. How can I get it to list ALL of the newsgroups that my ISP (Adelphia) allows? Thank you, Barry Karas PS I don't see an agent newsgroup |

Actually with version 3 it allows more than one. You are right this needs to be in alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent .

The microsoft server is (probably - there are others) news.microsoft.com. If only that is listed then there is your problem. You will need to add your ISP's news server. =20 The ISP web site will tell you the server name to use. =20 Mine is freenews.iinet.net.au. I also have news20.forteinc.com, which is a premium subscription service provided by Forte. If you do have your ISP's news server listed, you will need to go to Agent /Tools/Newsgroup Directory/, update the directory, ensure all news servers are selected (under "show newsgroups hosted by selected servers") then select the groups to which you wish to subscribe. =20 I suggest you add at least alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent.
