Anne, I've got another problem not yet reported on here.

I'm using XNews as my news reader.  I've got community.ngi.ibm.com server 
defined, including my user ID and password.  When I pull a list of all the 
news groups, I get the ibmcommunitytoolsfeedback group (plus a few control 
groups).  Double clicking on the group above, I get the error "411 No such 
news group".

Anyone else report this problem?  Any clues how to get that feedback group 
to appear as valid?

Is there a specific port I need to be looking at/through/for?
