In W2K, I use GNUs/Xemacs in conjunction with Hamster, so have never
had to setup up GNUs to pull from multiple servers. What lines do I
need to add to my .gnus to pull from more than one server?
Also, for my W2K installation, I have the following line in my .gnus:
(add-hook 'nntp-server-opened-hook 'nntp-send-authinfo)
and a file called authinfo that contains this:
machine 127.0.0.1 username password
but I still get asked for my username and password each time I start
up GNUs. What have I done wrong?

Yes, that's already done

Aah, I think that might be the problem - should the words "login" and
"password" be included in the authinfo? I've only included the values

Yes, I have the equivalent line in my .gnus "(nntp "127.0.0.1")"

Excellent! That worked a treat, thanks.
