Hello...
	We are preparing to bring up a new news server.  I would like
anyone interested and knowledgeable to point their favorite news reading
software at news.microserve.net on port 120 (not the standard 119).

NOTE: If you use netscape, use file ->Open news host and enter
news.microserve.net:120  This will NOT disturb any of your other news
settings.  THIS MAY NOT BE THE CASE FOR OTHER NEWS READERS.  Most news
readers store ONE file that matches up the news server with the messages
you have read.  Changing news server may distroy already-read messages.
If you are not familiar with the netnews backend andyou are NOT using
netscape NEWS reader, then proceed with caution.

If you cannot get this to work, please do NOT contact support or the
helpdesk.  if you are a knowledgable user, please send me (us) feedback on
your opinion of the new server.  It has only been operational for a few
days, so it has not accumulated many messages.  From what I can see, it is
not missing any posts.   It is receiving about 2.5 times what the current
server is receiving..
