I have never known an ISP news server that requires the ISP customer TO
log-in. Are you SURE that your ISP's news server requires you to enter a
Username and Password?

Alas, 'tis the same for me. I use T-bird, but regardless of what reader
I use the news server is provided to me through my ISP, and a log on is
required to access it. They don't want to give the news server for free,
it is only for subscribers. I have the option of using any server I want
outside of my ISP, but I would likely have to pay extra for it.

Interesting. In the UK, if you are accessing the internet through a
particular ISP, which always involves log-in credentials, the ISP assumes
you ARE a subscriber, and thus does not require a separate log-in for the
news server....way to go USA!

Umm... Gordon, old boy: In the USA, most always-on broadband
connections don't require a log-in.

My apologies, I wasn't very clear. No user name or password for the news
server, just the ISP. The thing is that T-bird is an all in one just
like windows mail. It handles mail and news and whenever I open t-bird
the first thing it does is log on to the ISP to download mail and news
headers.
