Don't really know what you are asking.. Verizon doesn't have anything to do
with USENET.

BroadbandAccess is the same as NationalAccess.

Hi,

Thanks for the responses. I shall be looking up the suggestions soon!

I apologize for reposting this message - my news-server, Teranews,
oftentimes keep timing out and not letting my posts go through! That was why
I wanted to know what settings to use for news.verizon.net, actually.

Regards.

Shiva

Are you looking for a news server that is available from all sorts of ways?
(including the cell/EVDO?).. If so, I am using the free german news server
(free, but you have to sign up, and get a registration... go to
www.individual.net Lots of groups ((about 35,000+, no binaries however)))

Interesting about the Terranews.. I use Giganews (for the binaries) thru
EVDO but have never had a problem connecting whether
cell/ethernet/WiFi/dial-up etc.
If you figger out why Terranews has a problem, let us know..

Have you tried using the browsers send feature? (IE at least has send off
the file menu), and you can send page by email to an email address. Usually
I send a post to myself for archiving, but I can send it to others...I do
the same in my newsreader (forward it as email to myself for archiving or to
someone else for info...

ok, here's my test to you via my phone (A Samsung A650 on NA, not
EVDO)
newsreader: Forte Agent, 30 day trial
newsserver: individual.net
emai: smtp.lava.net

By jove, I think I've finally got it!
