Thanks allan for the suggestion and lierduh for the test. I really appreciate the help. It took me nearly a month of haggling to get that port opened!

I installed the debug version of nntp that allan suggests and got this

1 group(s) gatewayed.
200 Welcome 63.247.129.11 cnt 1
480 Username/password required
Logging in to free.teranews.com, group webdiscuss.test

So I guess this is consistent with what lierduh reports in his trial. Is there another mail server to try before I subscribe to a news service or do my results suggest I am getting far enough along for a reasonable chance of success?

Any recommendation on which news service I should go with when I subscribe? I'm looking to bring in rec.arts.bonsai , which is a text-based service. My three main requirements are cheap, cheap and you-guessed-it.

The email mod built into gateway - for posting - seemed to be generating errors on my server, so I commented it out as recommended in another post here.

Regards,

Matt
