Hi,
I am interested to subscribe to newsgroups corresponding to FAQ, Custom Server Controls, GDI+, What''s New forums of forums.asp.net
but I cannot find anything similar in the list of newsgroup
I am on on dial-up modem and I really burn a lot of time navigating, then saving posts locally. I would like just to get all that is interesting to me, first of all FAQ forum
Any advise?

1) Add newsgroup account and point it at forums.asp.net
2) Use your forum credentials to login into the newsgroup account
It works pretty much like any other NNTP server you've used.

I tried using Outlook Express on 5/27/2006 around 11:45 pm and Outlook was unable to download a list of newsgroups. Here's my configuration:
Configuration:
Account: forums.asp.net
Server: forums.asp.net
Protocol: NNTP
Port: 119
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 800ccc0e

Kevin, presumably he meant through the NNTP interface. I do no know whether or not that is possible, but I will find out.

Ah, OK. You are probably right. But it still raised a question in my mind on NNTP so I am hunting down the answer.
