slow slow!

When clicking onto a message to see what help that sender requires, It may
sometimes take a couple of minutes to download, then a message comes up
stating that my NNTP server is not responding. so what is causing this
problem? Terry.

Hi Terence,

Are you using this for a server name msnews.microsoft.com
in OE? I'm not seeing problems here.

Server might be busy, if it is getting the feed from Microsoft, try the Microsoft server directly:

news:// msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.win98.apps

I have a dial-up internet access and I download messages for off-
-line use in Netscape Mail & Newsgroups. Before, I've used O.E. to
access newsgroups, and it has an option to do the same.
If you synchronize the newsgroups, downloading the headers and
the bodies, you will be able to read the posts without needing to
download each post separately. It may take a few seconds/minutes
synchonizing, but will not take time opening posts.

Hope this help.
