Do a search for public newsreaders. Find yourself a large one.

Jim,

I'm sure there are better methods out there, but here's one that works for
me when I'm on the road with the company laptop.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Still haven't figured out how sock-puppets are supposed to work, huh?

Do they normally carry binary newsgroups? Some news servers don't have
any. If they do, but just not ABF, then put in a request. They might
add it for you.

Otherwise, I know from searching that there are some web sites that
mirror at least small versions of the images on ABF, do a search for
the newsgroup name in the regular Google (not Google Groups).

If they do binaries, you could request that they add it to their
newsgroups. If they don't, you may have to pay for news service.

The last time I posted that link, Fat Boi claimed I was using
usenet-replayer to stalk him.

No, really. He actually said that.

They have a few binaries groups. I'll be calling them again this morning.

I've got you now. I know alot about computers so I'm using up to date
state of the art technology to hide my e-mail address from prying eyes.
It takes alot more than a twelve year old to operate at the advanced
level that I operate at.

You'll likely succeed in getting them to carry ABF. If perchance they
drag their heels or offer some resistance it would be because they
failed to do any homework and instead relied on ancient history
where ABF was technically an undocumented group. At this point
in time a brief mention of the traffic count should encourage them
to carry it. They probably thought it was an empty group.

Al is solved, went and got it from somewhere else. After I figured out
what to do. Wildblue called and said that they were getting rid of all
binary groups for legal and other reasons. Anyway I now have ABF and this
thing is blazing fast compared to my dialup.
Thanks for the advice folks.
