Hi Wayne
Thanks for the quick reply ( as always :-) ). I
have tried a google search, and read the FAQ's
for some news servers. Haven't found any free
news servers providing SSL support.
May be I am asking for too much (i.e.) free and
SSL !
By the way, you wrote

I can understand the google search. But how to
do the telnet test to check if it allows SSL
support over port 563.
Let us say I've found a news server called
news.abcorg.org, what should I do to check
whether this server provides SSL on port 563
Sorry for this very basic question.
Note : I said port 563 as that's what I
understood from some other FAQ's

Sorry I didn't understand the difference.
I basically don't want my ISP to know what I
am reading
