I have recently switched to a Mac, and have gotten just about everything I need to work on OSX except for a newsgroup reader. Being a coffee fanatic, I regularly read alt.coffee.
I have tried reading online, but just don't enjoy it as much.
I am unable to connect at all to get the newsgroup directory, and have tried 2-3 different programs. I am guessing it is my firewall or my router (Apple Airport Extreme) blocking the ports. I have researched it a bit to see how to open ports, but before I mess anything up I thought I would ask the experts.
Any suggestions on how to unblock ports or something else to get my newsgroup reader to work?
Thanks,
Vince
