If I can just add a lurkers 2 cents worth there are several free news
servers around
Many of my contacts who use AOL are going over to Forte Free Agent
I believe once you have it configured it works great. -

is Free Agent " to find out where to download the free version.

So AOL is going to discontinue newsgroups. No telling when my husband will
get
the DSL running. I will miss you guys (outside of the name-calling). Would
one
of you be willing to monitor a digest, perhaps through Yahoo? I have three
screen names, Pieter, Sean, and Peter Jason. I will contact you next time
I
need information. Beverly, Stewart, & others, please contact me so we can
keep
in touch.
