I was having trouble with eternal-september today and went looking around for alternatives and found mention that aioe was back up. It's nntp.aioe.org now, and it works but it's kinda weird; when I tried to reply to one of G'bo's posts I got something like "error 441: banned domain in body" so I had to not quote; very strange. Don't know if it will work next time or keep working but I thought I'd let folks know.

I think it doesn't like any addresses, like what would be in the header, and sig. I think that server is limited to some small number of posts you can send through it in a day. Something like five or ten. -- Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email ________ __ / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / /_ ____ / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_.___/\____/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms

Yes as G'Bo wrote, the alphabet server (aioe) is sensitive to content as well as some small number of posts. Eternal September hasn't been up at all today for me, every time I try to access it, it times out. Another freebie with good uptime is telesweet http://news.telesweet.net/ which G'Bo or somebody here (Bob F?) found and shared with us sometime back. I keep all three set up and ready, but I definitely use Eternal September the most. YMMV... -- Sue Morton "Phoenix" <> wrote in message news:... > Yeah, I remember reading something like that.

The nuisance of the Usenet app I'm presently using on my Droid is it can only hold settings for one server at a time--a PITA, but there isn't much else out there for Droid yet and the others are too buggy. I may have to resort to Google groups if this keeps up.
