Note: Neologic network suite is now known as Emtec network suite but
Ithought it might be more recognisable under it's old name.

What special magic is needed to get Neologic news to recognise the
demon news server?

I currently use the DOIP dialler which includes a single entry for
DNS and allows the news, smtp and pop3 servers to be named.  Within
the setup notebook for the Emtec newsreader there is a page for server.
I have tried putting news.demon.co.uk and one of the demon DNS IP
addresses in various combinations but always get a message saying
"Server address is unavailable or invalid.  Defaulting to off-line mode"

It is possible that I've missed something in the on-line help, but the
help for the server page does not give an example of the correct format
for the server entry.  Accessing help through the index provides details
for the news configuration notebook but does not have an entry for the
servers page.
