If you install Perl, make sure you don't download the proxyToolsExe
(which happens to be the only one on the download page!). Go to view
all files, and select the latest non Exe file (the description tells
you which ones are windows executables, and which are Perl source
code (the platform independent ones).
If you don't want to install Perl, get the file on the sourceforge
download page. It's old, and not updateable by you or me, but it
worked ok, AFAIK.

That's a good start.
When you have that working, you'll see it directs you to a free
news service.
If you want to add another news service, just click
localProxy's 'Add plugin service' on the advanced window, click
'Usenet news' in the 'Type of service' list, put (say) 10121 in the
local port box, and your news server address (say sunrise.pg.gda.pl:119)
in the 'Remote service' box. 'Ok' out.
Make a new News account in Outlook Express with the address:port
set as localhost:10121.
The LP setup will be saved in the 'last' configuration so you don't
need to do this again, provided you keep using 'last' each time
you start LP up.
