OM Hamster
Works perfectly fine with Xnews, Claws, XanaNews, 40Tude, Thunderbird,
Outlook Express etc..
The only thing you can screw up is failing to start the service, using
wrong port to connect, changing the default password and not updating your reader config, failing to add groups, most importantly - failing to use a valid news server to pull from and configure it properly. It's all in the Hamster tabs.
See below.
