How To

To read a newsgroup, you need to have a newsreader program. Fortunately most web browsers have a built in newsreader. When using the news reader first you need to enter the name of the newsserver in the settings; for CASE this is news.case.edu. Then you simply type in the address for the news group in your web browser's address bar. For example: news://cwru.net.general. If your web browser does not have a newsreader already, there are several you can download from the internet such as Collabra for Netscape. Note, you can access the CASE newsgroups from off campus, however you will be prompted for your CASE Username and Password if you do.
