Usenet news is usually read from your Internet service provider's news
server. If you don't know the name of this server, contact your ISP.
As a guess, the name of the server might be news.yourisp.com.

Port number: @variable{port}

Some news servers require that you enter a user name and a password.
It doesn't look like your news server is one of them.
Do you want to enter user name and password anyway?

and a password:
User name: @variable{user-name}
Password: @variable{user-name}
