*AOL* Dalo'chugh Duqay'laH qeS - If you use AOL, my advice can be a
problem. That is because AOL, which uses a version of IE for browsing
only serves newsgroups out of their local servers. HOWEVER... when you
are logged on to AOL you are connected to the general internet, and can
run other internet software independant of the AOL programs. I favor
Lynx, but you may also fire up Netscape or an full blown IE, any of
which should let you call up the startrek.klingon newsgroup off of the
news.startrek.com server as I noted above.
