Support newsgroups for most of the libraries are hosted on an NNTP server at: news://66.240.254.60 If that link doesn't work try removing "news://" on the server tab for the account.

Please follow the standard netiquette, avoid posting large attachments (unless really needed) and post zipped code only in the files area. Messages seen as inappropriate might be removed. Please use your own full name when posting.

Access the support newsgroups with a browser:

Search the new TurboControl newsgroups as well as the old TurboPower newsgroups:

Hint: Put the newsgroup section into the search box to restrict the search to one of the TurboPower libraries. For example, put "^apro" (along with other search terms) into the search box to restrict the search to the newsgroup section for AsyncPro.
