And unlike other ISP's own usenet access, I can access my servers ANYWHERE on any network. I used to have Comcast and I know at the time they outsourced their usenet to Giganews before they totally shut it down. However, when it was up & running, you could only access it with a Comcast connection & username. Not my current ISP. All I need now is an ISP provided e-mail address for their network and access to their usenet can be obtained anywhere. I commonly share my current usenet account with friends who are on several different networks (AT&T, Charter, Comcast, etc.). Would this be a factor as well?
