A couple of questions. First how is comcast, second what did you have to
do to get Xnews to work if any?. Looking into getting comcast myself.

They give you free access to Giganews. (at least they do here)
Simply enter newsgroups.comcast.net for the server, and use
yourprimaryaccountname@xxxxxxxxxxx and password for the login. You are
limited to 2 gigs/month, but changing the primary account ownership will
reset the counter. ;)
Giganews is nice for text groups too, the retention is amazing.



are headers counted towards the 2-Gig limit?
