    TC>Thank you Gert, so if I well understand:   
    TC>1) Create an account with your ISP or the news server suggested by    
    TC>Vince;   
   Yes but most ISP should by your email account have a news server for free to   
   you together with email account, or you can get it by Vince.   
      
    TC>2) Put the data in mbsetup    
   Then get some info on the newsgroup by name and put the the news servers info   
   in mbsetup and add the newsgroup to your echomail setup.   
      
    TC>3) Add the newgroup name for each message area   
   You can too make a news group name for you your echomails messages areas like   
   mbse for fido is fido.mbse and for your own nntp use like example   
   (bbsname).mbse   
      
    TC>4) Add a new message group called News (for example) and add the    
    TC>interested messages areas;   
   It will be more like new messages group called Newsgroup and add the   
   interested newsgroups.   
      
    TC>5) restart mbsebbs (just in case)   
   Yes. Mbse should automatic self fetch mail and newsgroups if you want to get   
   the wanted newsgroups then run 'mbfido ne' to get the news in to your areas   
   and watch it be done and then check system.log and then when working run   
   'mbfido news -l' the will take the latest news in and tell mbsebbs of what is   
   got home as option -l is learn for mbse.   
      
    TC>6) netstat -tulpna|grep 119 and check if port 119 is open.   
    TC>Correct?   
      
   Something in this will I think. You can too check the config file services in   
   /etc/services and then the mbsebbs file /etc/init.d/ and /conf.d/ for you have   
   mbsebbs set to act as nttp server too.   
      
     Take care,
