Thanks, that cured it.

I was using what I thought was the same NNTP user id & password as in 
Thunderbird on the Windoze box, but I went out to Speakeasy and reset it 
to be sure. Thunderbird gave an auth failure on Usenet access, so you 
were right. I could have sworn I had set it to the "email" password.

I appreciate your help. I would have replied in Gnus, but your post 
didn't show up in the thread for some reason.
