Hi Tony,

There is a test Usenet site for this sort of thing... try alt.test

"I see nothing, Colonel Hogan!"

I'm using giganews on Thunderbird (mac) - if you are having trouble with 
the settings just send me a note!

ACCOUNT SETTINGS

Server Type: News Server (NNTP)

Server Name: (your news server) Port: 119 (Default 119)

Connection Security: None (usually works)

Server Settings (set what you want)

...

Message Storage

Message Store Type: File per folder (mbox)

News.rc File (select - usually something like /Users/(your computer 
name)/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/default.emc/News/newsrc-news.giga

Local Directory: /Users/(your computer 
name)/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/default.emc/News/news.giganews.com

Those are essentially my settings, modify per your computer.
