Dear Steve,
I have been using Erols/RCN for years and they carry all the binaries in ASG.

Hi Steve, I have had Erols Internet, which for a couple years
now has been owned by RCN, for almost 5 years now and have never had any
problems with the newsgroup. I've always got most, if not all of the
postings, and up till now the binaries still are not blocked. They also
updated the news servers a while back and messages are there quite a while
before they get removed. To give you an idea, it's 12/12 now and I have
messages back as far as 11/5 with the pics attached. I have noticed they
remove large file size messages sooner than ones that are smaller.
