No oracle.com news server that I know of. Find out if your ISP or employer has a working news server for you to use. 'news.altera.com' has a DNS entry but refuses connections on the standard ports. If you want to use Netscape (or another newsreader client) instead of DejaNews, you might have to use a public news server or buy access to a commercial news service. Followup if you want more info about that. --
