I'm stuck using Google to access the groups when I'm at work.

why? does your ISP at work does not offer usenet news?

"ISP at work"? You've never worked at a company with a real IT

without passing through proxies that they can monitor, and that means web
telnet, or ftp only. Not even ssh, which is a royal pain in the ass.

otherwise be a mere malfunction. -- Carl Jacobs
