O/T Pipex - Can you get newsgroup through Pipex   
Currently with Pipex,  and receive mail through them, however, when I go 
onto newsgroup, its through Outlook Express provided by Freeserve, (previous 
provider).  Can I get newsgroup through pipex and if so, how do I set it 
up??
Doesn't appear to be any icons or help to set it up?

~TIA

Just set up an account in Outlook express using news.dial.pipex.com
Or if you don't know how try this...

Further to Mike's answer, there are three Pipex servers:

news.dsl.pipex.com (binaries)
news-text.dial.pipex.com (just text)
nntp.dsl.pipex.com (binaries but with restricted monthly usage)
