Problem number one: At home I've got a dialup connection and I don't like Gnus agent, so I've got to use a local nntp server (That's hamster in my case). Number two: At university I've got no admin rights and have a quota of only 50mb which I exceed almost daily so I can't set up a newsserver. -- One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. 19.
