Hi netters,
Just wondering how to set up nntp server in the .pinerc in order to read and 
post news through the pine?
Any help is being appreciated.
Thanx very much!

Hi,

You need to set these two lines in your .pinerc (either through editing 
or through the configuration screen.  (One note: I think you only supply 
*{ttd1.ttd.teradyne.com/nntp}[] on the news-collection line and pine 
fills in the subscribed groups.)  Also, to state the obvious, you must 
change ttd1.ttd.teradyne.com to whatever you nntp server is.

nntp-server            = ttd1.ttd.teradyne.com
news-collections       = Subscribed-Groups *{ttd1.ttd.teradyne.com/nntp}[]

Hope this helps,

FYI: For the normal nntp situation, you can actually omit setting the
news-collections variable explicity.  If you just set "nntp-server" then
Pine will infer the typical news-collections entry.

"Handles" are for CB & Ham radio.  How about supplying a name along with 
the kana?
