Problems in launching tin...

[FREDERICK NORONHA <fred@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I try to launch the newsreader *tin* this is the message I get. What 
does it mean please? 

>Can't get a (fully-qualified) domain-name!
>Try and save newsrc file again? (y/n): y  

Likewise, I've been unable to launch the other newsreader SLRN. This is the 
error message: 

slrn 0.9.6.2 (Feb  7 2000 16:09:52)
 
>Reading startup file /usr/lib/slrn/slrn.rc.
>Reading startup file /home/fred/.slrnrc.You need to set the NNTPSERVER 
>environment variable to your server name.
>Example (csh): setenv NNTPSERVER my.news.server
>slrn fatal error:
>Unable to select server/post object.  

Which are the servers LUGers would recommend? Where do in I feed their 
details? Thanks in advance, Frederick.
