Guess that would not unlock all groups, they might be only accessible from
an ES account.

Right, she'll need to use the credentials they give her.

Laurel,

your problems with Eternal-September:
Did you go first to their website and sign-up there?
Did you provide a valid e-mail address?
If yes, did you get the registration mail from them?
Sometimes a newly registered user can't log on the
server, in my case I had to wait over 12 hours, while
others had no problem at all.

But after that initial delay no problems since.

Helmut.

Thanks. I'm all set now. Seeing all the old favorites in eternal-september
via OE.

Do you know the origin of the name "eternal-september?"
