I have a Mac or Linux computer – is there special software available?
Yes, there are several newsreader programs across all operating systems.
To set up a newsreader for our service, you need to configure the newsreader using the following data. By connecting to the high speed newsserver, you can usually use the full bandwidth of your internet connection. By connecting to the flatrate server, your download speed will be limited to up to 2.000 kbit/s, but you will not use up any of your highspeed volume.
Highspeed (maximum download speed):
Newsserver: high.usenext.de
Port: 119/443 (Port 563 if using SSL encryption)
Your username (avi-xxxxxxxxxxx-xxx)
Your password
Flatrate (up to 2.000 kbit/s without using highspeed data volume):
Newsserver: flat.usenext.de
Port: 119/443 (Port 563 if using SSL encryption)
Your username (avi-xxxxxxxxxxx-xxx)
Your password
