<para>The nntp tdeioslave accesses <acronym>NNTP</acronym> servers directly.</para>
<para>This tdeioslave 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 tdeioslave 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>
