AOL users question.

Does AOL have NNTP news servers or is it all web based? I fix/upgrade one of my friends computer often (AOL, can't get them to switch) and I would to use OE to access a news server. I tried to connect to news.mhogaming.com but got an error, "not allowed to talk" or something like that. Any assistance would be great, as I know nothing about AOL. Thanks, Dan

My apologies, posted to the wrong group.

However... If your provider is like GTE you can have multiple people getting stuff from different locations (at least on the DSL service) I am using a borrowed AOL account but as soon as it connects I minimize it and use Agent and IE6 for online stuff (and Cuteftp when needed)
