On June 6th, 2002 AT&T Broadband will restructure the configuration of the
servers, which provide access to Usenet newsgroups.

As a result, you will need to update your newsgroup settings. If you fail to
update your settings will be unable to download new messages, post new messages
or post replies to existing messages to newsgroups.


For Outlook Express Users:

First, Remove (Rename) Existing Account (you must do this first):

1.	Open Outlook Express.
2.	If your folder list is not automatically displayed, select the VIEW
        menu, then click LAYOUT. Click FOLDER LIST, then OK.
3.	Click the netnews.attbi.com folder to create a list of newsgroups to
        which you currently subscribe.
4.	Select the TOOLS menu, then ACCOUNTS, then the NEWS tab.
5.	Select netnews.attbi.com and click REMOVE. Click YES to confirm.

Then, Create a new news account:

1.	Open Outlook Express.
2.	Select the TOOLS menu, then ACCOUNTS. Click ADD, then NEWS.
3.	Type your name as you would like it to appear and click NEXT.
4.	Type your e-mail address in the format username@attbi.com, then click
        NEXT.
5.	Type netnews.attbi.com in the news server field, click NEXT, then
        FINISH.
6.	Click CLOSE.
7.	A prompt to download your list of newsgroups will be displayed. Click
        YES.
8.	Choose the newsgroups to which you would like to subscribe and click
        SUBSCRIBE.
