Hi all: Can’t seem to connect to the Novell-Forums via GroupWise. I  
know Novell had some problems a wile back but seems to have fixed them.  
Does anyone know the status of the Novell-Forums via NNTP?

If you can read this then NNTP works fine …

I should ask when it last worked - the DNS names for NNTP access to the  
forums changed a little while back. See  
[https://forums.novell.com/faq.php?faq=novfor#faq\_nntp](https://forums.novell.com/faq.php?faq=novfor#faq_nntp) for current hosts.
