Misc.kids is a USENET newsgroup. You need to use a newsreader, such as FREE AGENT (which is available for download for FREE, like it says), and your server needs to carry that group (I think almost all carry misc.kids; alt.support.breastfeeding is another matter). The best place on the WWWeb to find FREE AGENT, and other Internet applications is something called The Ultimate Winsock Apps Page, the URL of which is: http://www.charm.net/CWSApps/ Happy hunting!
