Thank you Gert, so if I well understand:
1) Create an account with your ISP or the news server suggested by Vince;
2) Put the data in mbsetup
3) Add the newgroup name for each message area
4) Add a new message group called News (for example) and add the interested
messages areas;
5) restart mbsebbs (just in case)
6) netstat -tulpna|grep 119 and check if port 119 is open.
Correct?
