Hi all,

it seems that Jochen Kalmbach developed an NNTP bridge for the MSDN Forums:

http://communitybridge.codeplex.com/

....maybe a good tool to access

I must be dense, but I do not seem to be able to use either this, nor
the Microsoft bridges. I am using free Forte Agent (really old
version) to access newsgroups. How do I configure it to use the
bridge? I do not seem to find any instructions other than setup source
to connectnews.microsoft.com and login with some number and password
that MS gave me when I originally tried the MS bridge. This gives me
only two groups which are pretty useless for me.

Thanks for help in advance

Brilliant! I have uninstalled the MS bridges.

On his website I see that he still looks for contributors to the project.
From his TODO list:

# Better encoding support (currently only utf-8)

Dont we have an expert on this subject in this group? ;)
