You are pretty much out of luck, I'm afraid.  This is the place.  But
B News is so obsolete that you won't be able to get much help with it.
The sort of attentive, knowledgeable people who might be able to help
are exactly the ones who, by and large, abandoned B News long ago.

There's a whole document on the subject in the current C News distribution.
The main thing to be aware of is that the administrative interfaces have
changed, so you'd have some relearning to do.
