My "get over it" -- I went to http://www.aioe.org/ and used the
information there to set them up as my default newsgroup server with
the ATT ( Bellsouth ) one as a secondary one. My hassle was more in
that I was limited to getting the newsgroup only when I was on the
network -- imagine the concept of someone actually being mobile in
this day and age .

No binaries -- but I can live with that ; that's really isn'tt what
the main benefit of USENET for me.

Note that bellsouth.net considers this newsgroup intended for them alone
and tries to prevent any message exchange for this newsgroup with
their newsgroups servers. I only tried to look for it on the teranews.com
server because bellsouth.net has made a change to the setup requirements
for connections to their server, and didn't bother to tell me in advance,
so I can't download newsgroups from their server now.
