As I'm sure I recall the late Kenneth Williams once saying:

   "Quiet in here, innit?"

but that just reveals my age...  No matter; the reason for this 
post is to find out if (a) anyone else is still here and (b) if 
so, they have any experience of using GremNOS with news servers 
other than the struggling one at Demon Towers.

I've been thinking for ages of subscribing to news.individual.net 
and the recent (and it would seem ongoing) problems with news.dcu 
have accelerated that thought.  As this is a subscribed service, 
I'm assuming there will be some sort of login/authentication 
required -- is this easily configurable in GremNOS?

Any hints/tips/experiences gratefully accepted.

Pete
