I've just chnaged from XOVER to NEWNEWS and I can't see any appreciable 
speed difference. If anything NEWNEWS seems faster.

Still having problems posting though. I have feeling it's related to the 
article now. I tried more than a dozen times, sunday, throughout the day to 
post news and it always failed. Leaving it long enough (6 mins or so) CHANX 
eventually reports the connection is broken and carries on into news 
collection.

Now worked out that it is related to the size of the spool file, over 1522
bytes will not be sent. Interestingly my MTU is 1524, as negociated by PPP 
on connection with demon.

Oh no, I haven't now posts <1500 not being sent. ARGH! I wonder if this is a
feature of the internal network congestion that Demon have had for a while?

Cheers
Dave.

Late due to posting problems.  B-(
