  At the Pine main menu, press S for Setup, C for Config. Then enter the
address of your NNTP server into the field "nntp-server".

Friend, 

On 11 14 95 Loureiro asked how to read news with pine.

  At the Pine main menu, press S for Setup, C for Config. 
  Then enter the address of your NNTP server into the field 
  "nntp-server". 
 
To read news with pine on ovnet.com, these are the specific 
entries I've had to make: 
 
personal-name          = James M. Cobb
user-domain            = ahcbsd1.ovnet.com
 
... 
 
nntp-server            = 198.77.1.4
 
  Note that an IP address is used. 
 
... 
 
news-collections       = *{198.77.1.4/nntp}[]
 
  Note the * right before the brace.  Note that an IP address 
  is used.  Note there are no spaces inside the braces.  Note 
  that right after the end-brace, there's a pair of brackets 
  (which may look like a tiny rectangle on your screen).  Note 
  there is no space inside the brackets.  Note braces are nei- 
  ther parentheses nor brackets. 

If only an IP address will work on your system, then you may 
have to ask your system operator to provide you such an address. 
  
Good luck! 

Cordially, 
 
Jim
