What I'd said to Vicki in email, and I'll repeat to any other disenfranchised Aussies who're presumably reading this through Google Groups, is - consider using a different news server provider. I use individual.net, who charge about AU$16/yr, and have an excellent service. They're based in Germany, so there may be a slight lag from Australia, but it's got to be better than no news at all, and it's not going to break the piggy bank. John -- LOOK OUT, SPAM BLOCK AHEAD!

I use Google for my news groups and have had no recent problems or delays. Occasionally my server or my connection "goes down" but nothing drastic Sue Wood Geelong Victoria Australia
