Don't even bother, it royally stinks at newsgroups.
Especially if you want to give the binary groups a shot.
I'd go with Forte Agent.

Did you type in the proper username and password (if your news server requires one)?

How do I know if my news server requires a password? Furthermore, what is a news server exactly.

You'll have to contact your ISP to find out the proper username and password.
Secondly, a newsserver is how you access USENET. Unlike web-based boards, no central server [pool] exists. Instead, you use a local server, which itself propagates your message to other service -- and those do the same to others.

Ok got that figured out; subscribed now to ASVS.
But it won't let me see the messages.
Something about 480 Authentication required.

Then your ISP server probably doesn't carry ASVS. Try news.individual.net instead (note: you will need to sign up for it, but it's as simple as sending an Email to them.)
