Since many FAQs for newsgroups contain sections about how to access
the newsgroup, I thought I'd chime in here to mention that you might
want to add the following URL into that section. This URL links
directly into a given newsgroup at Talkway:

http://decaf.talkway.com/cgi-bin/cgi?request=enter&group=

with the Usenet group name tacked onto the end. For instance, the URL
that links directly into rec.sport.tennis would be

http://decaf.talkway.com/cgi-bin/cgi?request=enter&group=rec.sport.tennis
