I've been using it for >years and it works great and it is free. Tom is not everyone. I was paying about $5/month for Supernews since about 1998. Generally good about everything including tech support. I didn't see any reason to change for $60/year. However, my last exchange with their new tech support personality convinced me that they would soon become a problem. So, I went shopping for a new NNTP service and ended up with individual.net for 10 Euros per year: I was going to switch to Eternal September, except that individual.net had one big advantage. When I posted something, and then polled for new messages, the new messages would appear in a few seconds. Unlike most of the others, I didn't need to wait for a long time to see if my posting was available. Other than cost and this feature, I would say Eternal September and Individual.net are about the same. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558
