Probably five minutes after I pull the plug on my Verio account...

I won't be in a position to verify the "Verio dial-up will work" theory
until this evening.

Bill Levering at migration support responded to my "Please add trn
support to my account" email with:

"trn has been installed."

"Verio: please enable news access to:
 192.220.nnn.xxx" (my new shell IP address)

which leads me to hope that Verio tech support was just weaving a tale
to get me off the phone, but it's been two days and I'm still not able
to connect to the news server through the migrated account.  Should 
know more tonight.  Thanks.
