They're not using outsourced new servers. They may outsource the
people who run it, but these are SBC/Prodigy servers - always
have been.

They were Prodigy/Ameritech up here, but same thing.


I repeat again: news.dallas.sbcglobal.net works just fine. 99.5%
of the time (Except for the cancels issue).

I've got a choice between .chi (chicago) .kal (kalamazoo) and .det
(detroit). All of them work really well, but for an occassional hickup.
There are probably others I could get at too.
