Read access should be restored for QUICS through news.qnx.com
As the QDN newsgroups have had significant activity over the last few
months, we feel it is time to make the move and archive the QUICS
conferences, which will continue to be available as a reference.
So, as of next week, we will no longer be monitoring the quics.experts.*
conferences. QNX developers will enjoy unlimited read/write access to all
public QNX newsgroups, using standard newsreaders, TIN, TRN, or Vmail. To
access the following newsgroups directly, simply go to news://inn.qnx.com.
qdn.public.qnx2
qdn.public.neutrino
qdn.public.qnx4
qdn.public.photon
qdn.public.porting
qdn.public.news
qdn.public.qnxjobs
qdn.public.qnxrealtimeplatform.beta
We will, of course, continue support for ongoing threads in QUICS, but new
postings will be redirected to the QDN.

I have no specific information, but like I said, they are experimenting
with
this new newsgroup server at inn.qnx.com. I assume that they are not
keeping
up with the old access methods, except for tin, and that may be phased
out.
There is no information on the web pages that I kind find other than the
page
that lists the qdn newsgroups. The last real information I read was in
the
quics newgroups through tin, about the new support directions.

anymore. Has something changed on their end?

QNX support is rewriting itself. I think they have stated in the past
that
they would like to go to an all web based support (which caused a lot
of
uproar from developers who depended on ftp access to updates). These
newsgroups are an experiment in that direction. You still need to log
in
to
qnx.com directly and use tin to post and read from quics traditional
newsgroups.

But I can’t see any of the quics newsgroups that mirror the contents
of
the
threads on quics seen from within “tin”.

I used to be able to access the quics.* newgroups for read via
news.qnx.com
But my Windows computer went poof and now I’m trying to
reconfigure
it.
I set Outlook Express for news server news.qnx.com with no
account/password
required.
I pick a couple of newsgroups. But I can’t download headers
today.
It worked yeaterday.
I even tried configuring it with the same account/password I use
to
telnet
into quics (my boss’s account)
Has anything changed at quics that would affect this?
help!
