Hi all
I have tried several times in the past to have a look at this newsgroup and while the mirror copies on the web provide the content I failed every time I tried to subscribe direct.
As it turns out I have never had to set up the 'bt news' path since none of the other newsgroups that I have used for YEARS are actually on the 'public' news network ;)
I have just spent a long couple of hours going through various paths to find out WHY I was getting 'newsgroup does not exist on xxx' and trying to find the address of the uk usenet server which of cause was the wrong question to be asking ;)
I'm using Claranet for hosting and had been using Globalnet for access, but of cause BT now provides the broadband since they had the strangle hold on installation a few years ago. ( I'm still having problems where customers have poor broadband access - until they 'change' to BT direct ;) - the ISP's are dealing with that one :) )
So my general NEWS setup was still looking at the Claranet and Globalnet proxies, but was not being used. I had to change that to look at the BT proxy and here I am - finally.
I prefer the eMail based lists since management/searching is easier but there has been some interesting activity here which I would like to join in with :)
