Re: [PLUG] how do I get a list of newsgroups ?

This can be greatly simplified if you have netcat installed:

[mct@access:(919) ~]$ echo list | nc -v -v netnews.netaxs.com nntp
news.netaxs.com [207.8.186.21] 119 (nntp) open
200 netaxs.newsread.com InterNetNews NNRP server INN 1.4unoff4 05-Mar-96 ready (posting ok).
215 Newsgroups in form "group high low flags".
