As with MTNW or any other Usenet client you first have to load the news groups your server has available, I am using Giganews these days, and I see you are using the same with MTNW, so you actually have a subscription to a server providing access to binary groups. There is nothing stopping you using giganews with multiple UseNet clients. Are you trying to set up Unison with your eternal-september.org account or your news.giganews.com account? I would give giganews a try. Once you have that set up, from the menu go to *Group*->*Reload All Groups List*. When that is done, and it should only be limited by the speed your ISP provides, start subscribing to the NGs you want. In the column on the left select *All Groups*. You should see something like this: <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1295663/FileChute/screenshot_105.jpg> That image shows simple navigation to comp.sys.mac.system. You can then select that as a favorite and it will join the list which you can rearrange as you please. An easier way to find a particular group is to use th search function. Using that, when in the *All Groups* section, just type in the search window and you will be directed to the required goup. In this example I have searched for comp.sys.mac.apps. By the time I typed comp.sys.mac I didn't have to go further as I was presented with a whole bunch of groups with those characters in their names. I have selected a few by placing a green check mark in the box to the left of th name. That adds those to my subscription list. <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1295663/FileChute/screenshot_106.jpg> -- Regards, Savageduck
