Forte's Agent Premium News (APN) has added secure Usenet communications using SSL.

• Available for all tiers, measured and unlimited
• No additional cost
• Nothing to do but enable it in your news reader
• Available on port 563 (Agent's default) or port 443

To enable SSL in Agent, go to your news server configuration (Tools menu, Servers & Accounts) and check the box "The server requires a secure connection (SSL)." Note that SSL is not required to use APN, so if you don't want to use SSL, just leave this box unchecked.
