I understand the problems, I have just spent rather a long time online
myself to get a news connection, I understand the frustration.

I don't understand the problems of low cps rates, there have have been 2
major changes recently, the mechanism for feeding new articles to the news
machines and also some adjustments to retransmit times for Solaris 2.5,
which should if anything increase cps rates.

Since the beginning of June 1995 (I have posted here a few times from work,
I'm surprised you hadn't noticed).
