 friend of mine wants to be able to access USENET, he is hooked up
 to a UNIX gateway has a mail address and all that but does not
 know if he can access the USENET newsgroups.

 Is there some software he needs at his local site?  I know very
 little about USENET myself.  All I know is that I type "vn -n
 news.group".

 Can anyone explain to my friend what he needs to do, to get access
 to the network?  He is a software engineer and will understand any
 explaination much better that I can.

 he can be reached at Brad_Baker@HQ.3+.3Com.COM

 Thanks in advance for help you can give
