msn broadband server setting?

[glennjordan]

I'm having trouble getting binary boy to download groups from msn.com, -- tech support told me to use netnews.msn.com, but that doesn't work, i can use msnnews.msn.com and see the microsoft user grps, but not any alt.binary ones -- any suggestions? Thanks.

Binary Boy only works with servers that accept a plaintext password so it won't work with MSN if they're using Secure Password Authentication (SPA). This is also the reason that most other newsreaders don't work with MSN.

Binary Boy might support MSN soon. If everything goes well, a new beta will be available in the next few days.
