The FAQ entry:

contains this FTX:
   ...favorite USENET newsgroups such as <news:rec.toys.lego>. ...

I'm pretty sure this used to work. It resolves to:
   http://www.lugnet.com/jump.cgi?news:rec.toys.lego
which for me results in a 'page not found' page on IE. Other jump.cgi uses
resolve fine.

For me (On IE 5.00), it attempts to open a newsreader, and resolve the group
from the name list available from my news server.  This fails, because I'm
at work, and default to internal NNTP servers, which don't port through
usenet groups.  However, it should work if you have a news client, and your
news server is configured to receive usenet groups.

(...) ...and your browser is configured to open your news client when receiving a "news:" URL. In IE, choose Tools | Internet Options, choose the "Programs" tab, and select your news client in the "Newsgroups" field. ROSCO (22 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
