Re: Usenet server w/TimeWarner Internet?

Do TimeWarner Road Runner customers get access
to a news server - either in-house or through a specialty
news service (e.g. GigaNews)? I've just spent 1 hr on
the phone with TimeWarner and Comcast reps, and none
of them knew if TimeWarner's Road Runner service
includes a news server or even what Usenet or a news
server is.

If you go to http://www.help.rr.com/HMSLogic/tutorial_index.aspx
there are instructions for configuring Netscape and Outlook as news
readers, so I believe the ansswer is "yes".

Also, pinging news-server.nyroc.rr.com succeeds.

I assume there are regional news servers depending on your location.
