I want to use a second newslink.cfg file for pulling some newsgroups from a different server than where I get the main groups from.

how exactly is the command line command for this?
I think it should be something along the lines of

?newslink.js -newslink2.cfg

Or is it different?

Just "?newslink.js newslink2.cfg" (no dash)

in the end I realized I had a typo in the address of the server I was
trying to pull from. Sigh.

In this case I am using eternal-september.org, but I have it set to not connect more than 12 times a day, so I haven't actually encountered any
errors after fixing the typo (that I noticed). Also I have a specific
set of groups, many of which are basically dead anyway, so it's not like
I see so much happening out of the test groups.
