Zen Internet Support Forum

I've been trying to access newsgroups using MT Newswatcher since I joined Zen almost a year ago. I still cannot make head or tail of it. I have set up and configured exactly as per the tutorial in the Knowledgebase. I enter the example 'zen.support' in the find window, hit enter, get a dull bleep and nothing happens. Even when I get a list of groups appear none of them will open.

I am coming to the conclusion that either MT Newswatcher or newsgroups on the Zen server are a complete waste of time! 

Is there a simple to use news reader for OS X out there anywhere? One that does everything in a single window, where you don't have to drag and drop from one window to another, one which is actually plain simple to use? It seems that the concept of K.I.S.S. has completely bypassed the people who designed MT Newswatcher.

Hi there,

It's been a while since I last looked at news on my Mac - but I just google'd and found Unison.  There is a trial available at : http://www.panic.com/unison/

I've given it a go and it's very easy to set up, and even categorises groups, having automatically retrieved a listing on initial set-up.  e.g. you get a 'Discussions' section with headings 'Anime, Crafts, Disney, Food, Macintosh, Music, etc.'  There's also a 'Files' section with 'Music, Video, Pictures, Games'.  

regards,

Phil.
