I disagree. Since I've been on the Internet, over a decade now (what can I say? I was a slow starter), I've had three ISPs, and all three of them have provided NNTP access as a standard. One of them tried to cancel access to *binary* newsgroups, but they reversed that after customer complaints. I don't know what rubbish ISPs you're dealing with, or what country you're in, but not all ISPs in all countries are rubbish. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
