...but not badly enough to pay ;-) The free servers that I've found are all unusable... it takes so long to get even a few article headers that the connection just resets or stops working. The NNTP server provided by my ISP is equally as slow, and it's outsourced... they tell me I must contact the news provider, and the news provider won't talk to me because it's a bulk contract and the ISP is their customer, not me. I hope they aren't paying a lot for this "service".
For several years, I had a working account on a good server that was given to me by someone on NANAE, but it stopped working. I'm hoping some kind soul either admins an NNTP server and would be willing to give me an account (I don't do binaries, just a few text groups ;-) ), or maybe knows of a free server that will actually let me download headers in a reasonable amount of time and post a few posts per day. -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
