Our computer went on the fritz two days ago. DH spent yesterday re- formatting it, and my email works, but I can't get back into RCTQ via my Outlook Express. After ComCast quit doing newsgroups, I'd switched to eternal-september, and I "thought" I'd written everything down :- ( -- I'd written the info down, but I spent a couple hours today trying to hook back into RCTQ with absolutely NO luck. All I could get to were groups within eternal-september itself. Then I tried Motzarella - still No Luck. HELP! please contact via my regular email: ajhusman at comcast-maine dot net

I think this is answered as one of the FAQs on the motzarella website, something about you can connect without a password, but you need to force a connection with a password to be able to access groups outside of eterernal-september.
