I'm going to insert my foot on this one, but... as I understand it
News Groups are not like email per se and can only be received on your
local dial up.
I base this on my own experience. I have two ISP accounts; one local one
out of state. I connect locally to retrieve/send mail from the second
ISP. I cannot get NEWS from the second ISP without logging onto that
account. I do not know if this is defacto or a pecularity of that
particular ISP.
Please don't flame me if I am wrong. I don't belong to a news group.
