Why can I read news (i.e. Usenet newsgroups) in Yahoo?

If you are getting error messages like “cannot talk” or “cannot locate host” you most likely do not have your news server set properly in your WWW browser configuration. Please see your browser documentation on how to set this option. If you do not know what news server you should be connecting to, you’ll need to ask your internet provider (e.g. your sys admin) for the machine name. However, some providers will not give you access to a local news server. In this case you have at least two options. First you can look at a list of publicly accessible news servers and try to find one near you that will grant you access. In general these servers are rare due to loading problems. A second option is available through some gopher sites that allow you to read news through their gopher servers. However, using this option will not allow you to click on the news li
