There are a lot of settings in this thing under Gateway Newsgroups Management and I have no clue where to get the information I need to place in these fields. I found a newsgroup that I want to join but where do I get the info I need to connect to it? I can't find these details anywhere on their site. Do I need to create a sticky thread for this Newsgroup "before" I try adding it? There should really be a guide somewhere on how to set this thing up from ground zero. Not everyone has used USENET before and this readme makes a lot of assumptions that the end user already knows certain basic things.

Same here... Looking for public accessible Usenet server, but unable to find any. There a few paid one i found, alas none free...

Anyone have any server were they could share to use with this great mod ?
