Thanks for the replies everyone has given. It seems I need to somehow get a TCP/IP connection to my Unix box and run SLIP to use a newsreader Now, this is my setup(normally). I dial into my school's Unix machine using Zterm, and then use rn to access the newsgroups. This is over a 2400baud modem connection. Here's my question. Can I use MacTCP and MacSLIP to connect to my school's computer to use a newsreader over the phone lines?? What I mean, is this a simple case of me having the correct software on _my_ side of the connection, or is there something that has to be on the Unix side also. Oh, another question. Once my account runs out. Is there a way I can continue getting the newsgroups though a private company or something. Do any of the online services(CIS,AOL) offer this?? Or will I have to get an account on a Internet site service(I don't know anything about these). Thanks for all the help so far, Mike mshields@peruvian.utah.edu
