 TC>Thank you Gert, so if I well understand:
 TC>1) Create an account with your ISP or the news server suggested by 
 TC>Vince;
Yes but most ISP should by your email account have a news server for free
to you together with email account, or you can get it by Vince.

 TC>2) Put the data in mbsetup 
Then get some info on the newsgroup by name and put the the news servers
info in mbsetup and add the newsgroup to your echomail setup.

 TC>3) Add the newgroup name for each message area
You can too make a news group name for you your echomails messages areas
like mbse for fido is fido.mbse and for your own nntp use like example
(bbsname).mbse

 TC>4) Add a new message group called News (for example) and add the 
 TC>interested messages areas;
It will be more like new messages group called Newsgroup and add the
interested newsgroups.

 TC>5) restart mbsebbs (just in case)
Yes. Mbse should automatic self fetch mail and newsgroups if you want to
get the wanted newsgroups then run 'mbfido ne' to get the news in to your
areas and watch it be done and then check system.log and then when working
run 'mbfido news -l' the will take the latest news in and tell mbsebbs of
what is got home as option -l is learn for mbse.

 TC>6) netstat -tulpna|grep 119 and check if port 119 is open.
 TC>Correct?

Something in this will I think. You can too check the config file services
in /etc/services and then the mbsebbs file /etc/init.d/ and /conf.d/ for
you have mbsebbs set to act as nttp server too.

  Take care,
            Gert
