You can usually get away with falsifying or leaving out your e-mail
address and full name.
The two acronyms are a couple of addresses that the program needs;
one to access usenet groups, and one to send e-mail (if necessary).
You should be able to find out both addresses from your ISP's web
site, or the introductory e-mails you got when you first signed up
with Cox.
The NNTP is usually something like:
news.cox.net
...and the SMTP is probably something like:
mail.cox.net
Make sure you find out from Cox's web site, though.
I won't be around much this week, so if you continue to have problems
with Agent, you should refer to the program's help system, and the
FAQ on Forte's web site:

Best of luck,
Faustus
