Usenet groups do not have server addresses. They are carried by news
servers, which themselves are accessed by their name. For example the
news server maintained by motzarella.org is at news.motzarella.org and
also nntp.motzarella.org. Another free server is nntp.aioe.org. You can
subscribe to c.l.c or any other group that is carried by your chosen
server after you download their group list. Your newsreader should do
this automatically after you have filled in the minimum parameters like
server name, port number (usually 119), and authentication, if any.
