7. Can I use Leafnode+ with multiple news servers?

Most news reader software uses the NEWGROUPS command to learn about
the creation of new groups. The Leafnode+ news server does not
support this command. To check if new groups are available, see the

it when your connection to the net is established. If it is run as
