I can see a group "netscape.public.mozilla.win32"
but no group with "firefox" anywhere in its name.

If there's really any such group on that server,
are there any more connection details? (port# ?)

Or is it that Opera 8.51 (with M2 as news client)
can't connect nohow to this Netscape thing?  :)

Can you Opera folks figure it out?  Thanks!
