I've just finished upgrading news.xmission.com & newsfeeds.xmission.com. This
upgrade brings longer retention, faster speed, security fixes, software
updates, and IPv6. I will also be adding SSL NNTP shortly.

Although I tried my best to sync the new server with the old, you may need to
reset your article counts in some groups.

Ok, after some testing and fixing, IPv6 and SSL news works. If you're
using off-network auth, you should most definitely be using SSL (port
563) as your login/password is otherwise transmitted in the clear.
