Usenet (NNTP)

The SRCF offers a Usenet server for our users. To connect, you will need to point your newsreader at news.srcf.net and connect using a secure connection (SSL) to port 563. In order to combat spam, you will need to login with your SRCF username and password.

If you wish to use Alpine as your newsreader then you will find that our shell server pip has a default configuration ready to go. Otherwise you will need to configure it by going to (S)etup, (C)onfig and then setting nntp-server to news.srcf.net/ssl/user=pqrs2 where pqrs2 is your CRSid.
