Hi.
I wanted to set up news groups  outlook express.
i wanted the borland news groups at http://newsgroups.borland.com
i tried to set it up, put in my name, e-mail address and the name of the news 
group server.
clicked finish.
then clicked on yes to download the list of news groups on the server.
got the message that the server could not connect to this server.
said the server was unavailable.
tried this about another 8 times, but gave up in the end. and removed it.
if anyone has had similar problems, then please let me know how to get this 
service to work in outlook express.
i am using jaws 5.0.844, windows 2000, version 5.5, service pack 2.
it is very frustrating.
as i want to subscribe to the public.jbuilder.ide to ask if j builder is 
accessable with jaws.
also connect to the public.cbuilder news group.
Marvin.
