Access by newsgroup:
--------------------
Method 1 using your news reader:
-
Access via Usenet news can be had by adding this news server name to
your list 
of news servers in your news reader, or make it your default server: 
franklin.oit.unc.edu 
[in Netscape this is easy - just click on "file", then "open news host", 
then type in franklin.oit.unc.edu in the dialog box]. 
In Free Agent you can only have one news server (host) but you can, 
of course, run multiple copies of Free Agent [just install
it into separate folders, each with a different name and different
desktop icon]. Connect with the news server and download the list of
newsgroups 
available and subscribe to the ones that interest you.

Method 2 using your Web browser [+ news reader]:
-
go to this URL:
news://franklin.oit.unc.edu
and download the list of newsgroups available and subscribe to the ones
that interest you
or go to this URL:
news://franklin.oit.unc.edu/put name of forum (= newsgroup, = mailing
list) here
to get to individual forums directly for reading and/or posting (if
you're subscribed)
