[olug] The NNTP Cox at Hell limitation problem

[Adam Lassek]

Well... unless you want to pay for nntp access all we can do is hope the
limitation will go away once they switch to cox.net. In my experience,
the freebie news servers really suck.

I found this out the hard way as well. According to cox only 3% of the
usenet users would even be affected by this cap. Don't you feel special
now :)
