Hmmm... That looks old.  But its not running anymore, or at least not
answering pings.

It looks rather down to me, considering that it used to work from here ;-)

Oh, if you DO restart it on other hardware you might want to tell someone 
that promiscuous NNTP servers are a seriously bad idea (as in granting post 
privileges to anyone).  I was rather surprised when ddsw1.mcs.com came live 
on the cable and I discovered that the NNTP port on machine was wide open.

It looks like perhaps I missed a couple of articles; the original message
that Randy sent isn't in my spool (or I just plain missed it).  Can someone
fill me in?

MCS.COM has feeds available as well now that we're on the cable directly.
Send email to "karl@ddsw1.mcs.com" for info.
