Well, whadda' ya' know! I'm almost back to the same level of newsgroup participation as before AOL dropped it.
But one problem remains. I've subscribed to several ibm newsgroups at news.software.ibm.com; I can read all the postings and reply; I can initiate posts. All is well. Then I also went to 204.153.244.171 as someone suggested to sign up for comp.lang.cobol; Well, I can read the postings, but I cannot reply nor initiate posts. There is obviously some kind of configuration error here, but I don't see it. Any suggestions?
