OT: Your headers (Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.3138) tell us that
your WinXP SP2 machine is NOT fully patched! Charles wrote: Anyone know of any good free news servers? My ISP disconinued theres. |

Anyone know of any good free news servers? My ISP disconinued theres. www.motzarella.org Used them for a long time (also after my ISP discontinued newsgroups service). Between the periodic sync problems between their overview and article databases, that they honor cancels (but only in the articles database since the overview database is not as often updated which results in errors about articles not existing on their server), along with the new server name change and problems encountered thereafter with their service, I decided to try Albasani. I wasn't aware there was a 1200 connection per day limit. This is probably okay for most users, including me. For some, it could result in them upping the disconnect time configured in their NNTP client to avoid hitting that limit. www.albasani.net Been using them for only a couple weeks. Not enough history to know how reliable they are. Both the above require registration. Motzarella is more automatic in sending you a confirmation e-mail with your login credentials. Albasani has you request an account and you wait a day or two before they send back an e-mail with your login credentials. Neither carry binary newsgroups. That's why they are free. www.individual.net Ran from a German university. Cost is around $16/year. This is cheap but then they also do not carry binaries. Seems to be a very reliable service. If I find Albasani isn't better than Motzarella then I'll probably next try Individual. |

Sure hope your computer doesn't have internet access and isn't connected to
any networks! Charles wrote: I am posting from a computer at work. Can't do any updates. "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ...
