@title Configuring Gnus for reading news


@node Setting up the news server name and port number
@variable server :string (gnus-getenv-nntpserver)
@variable port :number 119

@text
Usenet news is usually read from your Internet service prodider's news
server.  If you don't know the name of this server, contact your ISP.

As a guess, the name of the server might be news.yourisp.com.

Server name: @variable{server}
Port number: @variable{port}

@node User name and password
@type interstitial
@next

    "Enter user name and password"
  "Want user name and password?")
@end next


@node Want user name and password?
@variable passwordp (:radio ((item "Yes") (item "No"))) "No"
@text
Some news servers require that you enter a user name and a password.
It doesn't look like your news server is one of them.

Do you want to enter user name and password anyway?

@variable{passwordp}

@end text

@next (equal passwordp "No") finish
@next (not (equal passwordp "No")) "Enter user name and password"


@node Enter user name and password
@variable user-name :string (user-login-name)
@variable password :password (or (assistant-authinfo-data server port 'password) "")
@text

It looks like your news server requires you to enter a user name
and a password:

User name: @variable{user-name}
Password: @variable{user-name}

@end text
