Hi. Just downloaded the most recent copy of WinQVTNet. I love it, but I cannot get the news reader portion to work. In order to connect to the NNTP server, I need to specify a *port* as well as an IP address. Is there a way to specify both in the QVT_NET.RC file?

Problem is: how do you know which port to specify? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iskandar Taib | The only thing worse than Peach ala Internet: NTAIB@AQUA.UCS.INDIANA.EDU | Frog is Frog ala Peach Bitnet: NTAIB@IUBACS ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
