Newsgroups

1 3
You can view and post newsgroup items from GroupWise
boards on the Internet. You can find newsgroups about almost any topic. Newsgroups are similar to
GroupWise shared folders, except instead of sharing information within your department or
company, you can share information with anyone on the Internet.
To use newsgroups, you must have access to an NNTP server. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
gives you the correct server information and login name (if necessary). You can also search the
Internet for a list of free NNTP servers that you can use.
