   Thank you Gert, so if I well understand:   
   1) Create an account with your ISP or the news server suggested by Vince;   
   2) Put the data in mbsetup    
   3) Add the newgroup name for each message area   
   4) Add a new message group called News (for example) and add the interested   
   messages areas;   
   5) restart mbsebbs (just in case)   
   6) netstat -tulpna|grep 119 and check if port 119 is open.   
   Correct?
