Getting Thunderbird to work?

Anyone here know what NTTP or other info I need to input into Thunderbird in order to use Thunderbird to read this newsgroup?

Thanks and cheers.

What do you use for a news server?

I'm using Eternal-September because my ISP doesn't offer one any longer.
It's free but you have to sign up with them.

So my server is news.eternal-september.org and the port is the default
NNTP (119)

I thought I just needed to download Thunderbird. I'll download that other program too.

It's not a program, it's sort of a "membership". With some that is free,
others like mine are paid news servers. Either way you will need a
server name from them which in my case is " and that
gets enterered under "Server Settings" - "Server Name". Now you
subscribe to the individual newsgroups you want by right-clicking on
"news.xxxxxxx.xxx" and then left-click "Subscribe". Thunderbird will ask
you for a user name and password before you can download or post
anything, both of which you must obtain from the news server
organisation you have chosen. It'll usually be in the confirmation email.

It's not a program. It's a free NNTP service.
Go he
http://www.eternal-september.org/
and sign up. They'll have instructions how to connect. Then tell
Thunderbird to use this server for your connection to RBT.

Yep, that's it. Just that eternal-september is a free service. You
sign up with them so that they can validate your connection via email.
Prevents open spam etc.
