Is it worth joining the newsgroup if I have Freese

[Chivas]

I've just found out the binaries do not open if you use Freeserve or AOL ISP's. Is this true?
Also how do I actually join the newsgroup?

There's a bit in the FAQ which should explain subscribing to news groups, but with freeserve and AOL I think you can forget about seeing the pictures, though there may be ways round this - see the FAQ again and also search this forum as some other free news servers have been mentioned.

You seemed to have managed to post a text message to alt.fan.televisionx as someone has jsut replied to it on that newsgroup (hope he doesn't mind me quoting for the benfit of others who have asked similar questions on this forum):

There are also other news servers you can pay for such as newscene

In relation to Agent, and confirming Alec's quote, it is possible to set it up to use multiple servers/accounts etc - without having to manually change them each time. This is covered in the HelpFile but you might have to search around for it as, as I recall, it's not immediately obvious.
