Hello all,

As I have just unpacked and set up OASIS135E I am :-) but...

How do I limit the number of messages that I bring in. I know that once
I've accessed the newsgroup the messages sent are only the new ones, but
some of the groups have an immense backlog of messages, which I don't
want!! Besides it gets boring sitting at the machine. (And you wonder
why the newsservers are always busy!!) 

(On the point of newsserver access I just kept repeating nntp kick til I
sneaked in. Didn't take many tries.) 

 I know this may sound like a pretty basic question, but I'm just a
pretty basic guy... 

Thanks in anticccccciiii.....pation,

Ali.
