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

Apparently not. Oddly enough.


hm, he might install Hamster http://www.tglsoft.de/misc/hamster_en.htm as a
small newserver (freeware) at home, use a static IP address or dyn-dns at
home and then connect from work to the server at home.

or he uses a free NNTP access (or invests some bucks for a paid service or
switches to an ISP offering all what he wants/needs)

try forte. it is free. - www.forteinc.com

You mean Agent.

yep.

No, wait...you mean Free Agent. Agent costs money.
Outlook Express is free too. So is 40tude Dialog. There are probably
others. But until Jay gets NNTP acccess, all of that is irrelevant.


hm, I gave Thunderbird http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/ a try
(also freeware) today and installed an Outlook Express theme. Worked OK and
gives the Outlook Express user a known environment.

It's because he has an unreasonable employer.

Yeah, he's a cheap *******...

At least you didn't blame it on Mary!

"ISP at work"? You've never worked at a company with a real IT
department, have you? Ours doesn't allow anything out of the firewall
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.

Two words:
HTTP CONNECT

Run your ssh server on port 443. Run a script that contacts the web
proxy and connects to the remote ssh server on port 443, and connect
your ssh client to your script. The proxy can't tell the difference
between ssh and https because of their end-to-end encrypted nature.

If you are using Redmondware, PuTTY will actually do the whole thing for
you.

I used to work for $IT_GIANT, and they didn't filter ssh - it was rather
nice of them.

reason why I LOVE mutt and trn and have never been tempted to the dark
side of GUI newsreaders.

The other advantage is I have the same .newsrc wherever in the world I
go - I don't have to worry about picking the unread articles out if I'm
using someone else's computer since my news reader is always run on the
same box.

I went to Google Canada some months ago when that
godawful Beta version of Google Groups was
introduced in the US. Today it found it's way to
the Canadian site as well. Anybody know of a clean
site left?

Try these:
