|Then only news server that I know is msnews.microsoft.com and they dont
|have any rec.games.frp.cyber they are strictly Microsoft stuff. I was
|wondering if there was another server that I could connect to that would
|be public domain and that would have that rec.games.frp.cyber

Is msnews a public newsserver, or one for employees only?
If it's the former, it SHOULD have all of the rec heirarchy... If it's the
latter, then, ho hum.....

I think any commercial newsserver for public use has access. I just have no
idea HOW to access them. At Keele, accessing the Keele server is automatic.

I tried accessing news.demon.co.uk once by changing an environment variable,
but connection was refused.....

Anyone?

P.S. SNIP OFF THE .SIG!!!!!!!!!!!!
