Please log in for more thread options the NNTP news-server did not work, I was re-directed to a webpage http://www.newshosting.com/bhn-en/ describing the "new complimentary" news server. The NNTP server from that service works fine for now and A.B.S.E is back. -- Joe Leikhim K4SAT "The RFI-EMI-GUY"© "Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason?

A cable TV feed would certainly solve your local difficulties with multipath digital terrestrial propogation once and for all. A lot of ISPs are dropping Usenet as completely as a minority interest bandwidth hog. And they are starting to winge about the bandwidth soaked up by BBCs iPlayer and similar video on demand services too.

Text groups have the smallest footprint there can be and they could curb uploads of large image files by artificially slowing upload speeds to 10kb/sec or so. Or limit files to 30-50kb just like many web based forums do. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.
