News Server setup page correction request

Could someone please correct the news-server setup page so that it no longer
specifies port 119? This port has not been available for years:
http://news.lugnet.com/admin/nntp/?n=1364  26 Sep 2003

and even for those of us who were around back then, when doing a new
news-server setup we are not necessarily going to remember that it happened!
New users will be even more baffled as to why they can't get their
newsreader to connect to LUGNET. Yes, I know the News Server setup page
suggests other ports, but someone is not necessarily going to know that the
problem lies there. Call me stupid, but it took me several months after I
got a new computer recently, to realise that the port number was why I
couldn't use my newsreader (and I just don't do the web interface, so I
almost disappeared).

Thanks

Kevin

(...) I can't edit that page, unfortunately. It's like the LUGNET Homepage (not FTX). But I'll bug Todd about it. Thanks for pointing this out! -Suz (18 years ago, 7-Apr-06, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
