+<para
+>The nntp kioslave accesses <acronym
+>NNTP</acronym
+> servers directly.</para>
+
+<para
+>This kioslave can not be used with servers that do not implement the <command
+>GROUP</command
+> command, including some versions of the popular <application
+>INN</application
+> news server which is often used by <acronym
+>ISP</acronym
+>s. It does work with <application
+>leafnode</application
+>, which many people use to keep an offline cache of news articles on their own hard drive or within their <acronym
+>LAN</acronym
+>.</para>
+
+<para
+>You can use the nntp kioslave by typing <userinput
+>nntp://yourserver/groupname</userinput
+> into the &konqueror; <acronym
+>URL</acronym
+> bar.</para>
+
+<para
+>If you enter a group name, as above, and the group is available, you will see the messages stored for that group as icons in &konqueror;.</para>
+
+<para
+>Clicking on a message will display it as plain text, including all headers. This could be useful for debugging a news client to news server connection, for example, to ensure that your new <application
+>leafnode</application
+> server is working correctly.</para>
+
+<para
+>If you don't enter a group name, and only the server name, you will see a list of available groups. </para>
+
+<para
+>Please be aware that this could take an enormous amount of time, and will cause a lot of network traffic. Some commercial usenet servers have 60,000 or more groups available, and doing such a thing may cause your desktop to freeze.</para
