I am dropping Newsguy just as soon as I get home. I asked them about port 80, but apparently I can only use 80 if I go with their $75.00/month blah blah plan. LOL! Um... NO THANKS!

For those who are having problems posting from VB to Usenet, take note, port 119 on your web server may be blocked for OUTGOING data.
I've been using this hack with Giganews for quite awhile. Works just fine

Take a look if you like - I've got one newsgroup set to autoprune every day so it only holds 90 days worth of posts, but it works just fine.

Forumhome is at http://ebassist.com/vb3

The only mod to the gateway I've made is to disable signatures in gateway.php - but we discussed that earlier in the thread

edit: Before you switch news providers it might be a good idea to see whether your ISP blocks only port 119 or the entire NNTP protocol. Telnetting to a news server won't tell you whether your ISP blocks NNTP, I'm afraid
