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.
