Thanks for your quick response!

I am trying to download certain ham-related news groups into JNOS so that
our locals can read them when they log into JNOS. I also run another BBS
program (not Ham related) that will download the news and place them into
message areas for users to read. It uses a username and password to log into
my news server. The BBS software also requires a username and password to
read and download the news.

Perhaps I am looking at this the wrong way. How does one get the newsgroups
into JNOS? All NNTP servers require a username and password.
