It's alright. We've figured it out - since our relocation to new
premises, we're currently using 64k ISDN (moving up to a dedicated
10Mbps line hopefully!) After much nslookup - ing, spotting 'bt' in our
own hostname and guessing news servers... (news.bt.com; news.bt.net;
news.btinternet.com ...), I guessed news.btclick.com.
It worked!
Sorry to have clogged up the list with this off-topic thread - and
thanks to everyone for their help,
