I > don't understand it but maybe Hal could jump in and explain.. burris, I have no idea what Dwight might have been saying. Last I heard binaries accounted for about 95% of usenet traffic. I would think anyone serving just text groups, and not having to worry about 95% of the rest, would have it that much easier. It might be that how WUN would have done a text only server, is to just 'hide' the binaries from the text users since they'd still need to have all that stuff there for those who needed (or paid for it). In which case, it is more complicated. Bottom line is that if BSIS really, really wanted it fixed, it would be fixed ASAP. Simply replacing WUN is not going to fix the problem. .02 -- Hal Burgiss
