Yes. Isn't it? The really weird thing is, I've had this news problem
happen other times with other ISPs that run NT Server. It has GOT to

For the past 2 days, looks like I'm receiving complete news feeds.
Guess the SA found the problem. I still can't post though, even
though the news server config is set for "Posting Allowed..."
Microdot v 1.4.4 reports during downloads that it's DNEWS. Can't
