When contemplating getting a feed, keep in mind that many sites (who may be willing to offer you feeds) may require that you have a fixed IP address that they can enter into the configuration of their server. Indeed, some servers effectively require fixed IP addresses (Diablo certainly doesn't work well when the remote IP address keeps changing). See <http://www.usenet-se.net/peering/>; for the best centralized listing of servers that might be willing to offer you a feed. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> /* efdtt.c Author: Charles M.
