We go through this argument at least once a year on this list!

     A large number of people accees the internet through a corproate
     network, and their firewalls do not allow NNTP communications.

     I thought the person maintaining this list was going to arrange for
     the list to be mirrored on the MicroChip Newsgroups?

     regards,
     Scott.
