news group

In my search for information I've tried connecting to the
news.cecer.army.mil domain with my news reader to get to the
info.grass.user and info.grass.programmer but am not allowed in. These
don't seem to be normal news groups and including them in my isp's list
hasn't retrieved information, is there a public news server to which I can
connect? are these news groups very active? are they a compliment of this
mail group? geeez, so many questions.... guess I'm just new to grass.

Is there a IRC for grass people?

Refering to the decent 24bit driver I subscribe to the opinion that it is
definately needed :wink:

Thx in advance

Simon.
