I use and like it - I do not seem to have the password problem with that
account. I have had that problem with an email account. Maybe the
problem somewhere else (besides the server).

Hoo Ray! I did sign up to motzarella and it works great for the first few
minutes. Looks like exactly what I need. I remember y'all writing about it
a while ago, and was hoping someone would refresh my memory! Thanks much!

Funny thing, there was only 1 message showing in the Outbox when it
transmitted.

How does Motzarella do this (newsgroup server) for free and no ads?

I did that in July and am very pleased with the service (20gb down and
5gb up) and the price with the triple play discount of $99 per month. Be
advised that Verizon only provides the "Big 8" news groups and excludes
all of the alt.* groups including this one. See
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-9967119-38.html

Because I continue my service with AT&T (Worldnet- $8/month) in order to
maintain my email addresses, I receive the side benefit of getting all
of the newsgroups with the exception of alt.binaries.*

Speaking of volume, I've posted a number of times but they aren't showing up
when using Motzarella! Only when using Giganews! I can't figure that out!
I can see everything else, just not my own postings thru Motzarella!
