Subject: I don't grok server names and parameters

Hi,

when I type "G m" to add a foreign group, then type
"personalnews.germany.eu.net" for my NNTP server, nntp for the method,
and "alt.test" for the group name, said group will appear in the
listing of the groups like so:

    nntp+personalnews.germany.eu.net:alt.test
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What can I do to have Gnus display the indicated first part of the
group name as something shorter, say "nntp+ISP" or "ISP"?

I'm assuming this has something to do with servers, but somehow I was
unable to do this.  It's got to be rather simple, but I seem to have a
blind spot.

Any help very much appreciated,
kai
