Hi:
We have a Mac IIci at the E25-141 Athena (HST) cluster hooked
up to the MIT ethernet. It's host name is qunidine.mit.edu and
its IP address is 18.88.0.224. I am running Mac TCP on it.
Recently, I got a Netnews reading program. I configure it
so that it uses Bloom-beacon.mit.edu as its NNTP server. However,
when I run this news-reading program, I got the message "the news
server is not responding." so, I wonder if I need to have
someone authorize my machine to use Bloom-beacon as the news
server. If so, I wonder what does it take to get our machine
authorized. The purpose of setting up the Netnews program on the
Mac is for the people without an Athena account to be able to
access Usenet.
thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Benson M. Wu
