I've been reading my news groups off and on and hadn't seen anything
at a.m. for quite a while. I just tried to post there and got an error message stating it's not a valid newsgroup. Anyone else have any info? I'm using Agent if that matters any, but I'm not having trouble with any other groups I'm subbed to. Thanks! Nan |

I don't mind paying a small fee. i still use the NNTP serve at my dial-up IP (i have special dispensation from the boss for remote log-in). the German server is about $15/year US, i think & they spam trap. aioe.it is free. there's a few others. you can keep Verizon & just get a new NNTP server lee -- Last night while sitting in my chair I pinged a host that wasn't there It wasn't there again today The host resolved to NSA. |
