Breck Carter's Tip 87: "Getting Started With Sybase News Groups" - http://www.bcarter.com/tip087.htm
Also, be sure to follow some rules of Netiquette1, Netiquette2 Firewall restrictions? If your company has a firewall against all NNTP newsgroups, ask your network administrator to please open it up for just the Sybase server. Usually, there is no problem doing so.
If however your company will not allow it, try out Dynamic Technology Group's web-based news reader which enables you to post and read messages to/from forums.powersoft.com at http://www.pfcguide.com/_newsgroups/group_list.asp .

Compuserve PowerBuilder Forum:
GO POWERSOFT ~or~ GO PBFORUM
This PowerBuilder Forum used to be hosted by the Team Powersoft (now called TeamSybase) people. However, they moved to the Sybase newsgroups (above).
Since then, another group has taken over the Compuserve forum. So it is still active and available if you wish to use it as well. You can also access the PBForum via the web at
http://forumsa.compuserve.com/vlforums/default.asp?SRV=PowerBuilder
Please note however that you still must be a Compuserve member to visit this site.
