How are forums based on a newsgroup system?

Where is the newsgroup server located on GRC?
Our newsgroup server is located at the same ‘ news.grc.com ‘ domain as our web server, so you must configure your newsreader to access ‘ news.grc.com ‘ for its newsgroups. Also, in the same way that some eMail clients allow the standard eMail “ports” of 25 and 110 to be changed, some newsreaders allow the standard port 119 to be changed.
